The purpose is to investigate whether there is a relationship between the ultrasonographic femoral thickness and the simultaneous presence of osteoporosis in female patients with knee osteoartritis (OA). Tools and Methods: 118 female patients with OA in both directories were included in the study, the clinic and the clinic. The demographic data of patients, radiological Kellgren Lawrence (K-L) stage, ultrasound and femoral thickness (FKK) measurements were made. Numerical pain assessment, OA index [Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)], general health standard and quality of life assessment was recorded by making a short Form-36 (SF-36) and double-energy X-ray absorption (DXA) for bone mineral intensity. Results: In 58 patients with an average age of 64.5 (December: 50-75) osteoporosis was present (Group 1), while in 60 patients with an average age of 62 (December: 51-75) osteoporosis was not present (Group 2). The group 2 found a higher body mass index (VKI). As the K-L phase increased, the incidence of osteoporosis tended to decrease. In the advanced stage of OA, DXA femur neck, lomb total T-score measurements were high. In the non-osteoporosis group, statistically, WOMAC pain, arrest, function and total scores were higher, SF-36 physical function, physical role restriction, pain, social function scores were lower. There is no meaningful relationship between the presence of osteoporosis and the K-L evolution and the FKK measurement. The left knee showed a negative correlation with FKK VKI. The result: a negative relationship between radiological OA and osteoporosis has been found. There is no meaningful relationship between ultrasound FKK measurement and knee OA degree.
