dc.description.abstractObjectives: Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of gastritis and a potential trigger of inflammatory disease. The effect of H pylori infection on distal femoral cartilage has yet to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate femoral cartilage thickness in patients with H pylori infection and to find whether this infection affects femoral cartilage thickness. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 199 patients. To measure the thickness of femoral articular cartilage, 99 patients with H pylori infections and 100 with H pylori-negative controls were enrolled into two groups. The measurements were made using linear probe ultrasonography with the patients in supine positions and their knees in maximum flexion. Demographic, clinical, endoscopic and laboratory data were collected for all patients. Results: Both the right and left femoral condyles had thinner cartilage thickness in the H pylori-positive group than in the H pylori-negative group (P =.016, P =.036). For the intercondylar area and lateral femoral condyles, although the H pylori-positive patients had thinner femoral cartilage thickness than the H pylori-negative individuals for both extremities, this finding was not statistically significant (P >.05). Conclusion: Femoral cartilage was thinner in patients with H pylori than patients without H pylori for right and left medial femoral condyles. This study suggests that H pylori infections may affect femoral cartilage thickness and potentially increase the risk of cartilage degeneration. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd
