Ultrasonographic evaluation of the distal femoral and talar cartilage thicknesses in patients with poliomyelitis: a cross-sectional observational study.

CONCLUSIONS: We found a thinning of the distal femoral condyle in the more affected paretic sides of poliomyelitis patients as compared to both those of less affected sides and those of healthy controls. Talar cartilages on both sides of the patients were thinner compared to control subjects. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Our preliminary findings may contribute to the long-term management of patients with long-term poliomyelitis sequelae.
