All patients included in the study were recalled for subjective, objective, and functional evaluation; the study protocol involved the range of motion (ROM), ligamentous stability, Tegner-Lysholm Score, Modified Cincinnati Rating System Questionnaire, Short Form-12 (SF-12) in addition to the plain radiograph, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee. According to international

Introduction OA is a musculoskeletal disease that causes chronic joint pain and reduced physical functioning (Laba, brien, Fransen, & jan, 2013).
