Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Brief Summary   Knee joint distraction is coming up as a promising biological method of treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee in the young. Prospective trials on the subject are not many. Further more it is not known if addition of arthroscopic debridement will make the outcome superior. Our prospective trial aims at measuring these parameters. A total of 40 patients will be recruited. 20 of them will be randomly allocated to knee joint distraction alone. The other 20 will be allotted to arthroscopic debridement followed by knee joint distraction. Clinical, radopgraphical, MRI and quality of  life parameters will be assessed and compared to see the improvement from baseline parameters and further if addition of arthroscopic debridement makes the outcome superior. Informed consent will be obtained from all the patients involved in the study.
