Background: Abnormal pregnancy represented by gestational diabetes mellitus characterized by hyperglycemia which found to affect the stability in several joints including knee joint.Objective:This study was designed to evaluate the impact of gestational diabetes on the stability of knee joint.Methods:Thirty primigravida, pregnant women with single fetus in their 3rd trimester (> 24 gestational weeks) participated in this study, their age were ranged between 20 and 40 years old and their body mass index was < 35kg / m2, they were selectedfromObstetrics and gynaecology outpatients clinic inKasr Al Ainy University Hospital, Cairo University in period from March 2016 to May 2016, these women were assigned randomly into two groups equal in number, Group(A) consisted of fifteenpregnant women, they suffered from uncontrolled gestational diabetes(fasting blood glucose level < 126 mg/dl)in their third trimester of pregnancy, group (B) consisted of fifteen womenin their third trimester of normal pregnancy, they didn’t suffer from any complications rather than normal physiological changes that occur antenatally. Every woman was evaluated by usingKt 1000 arthrometerand Lachman test to detect knee stability affection.Results:There was a statistically significant increase in the median value of Kt 1000 in gestational diabetes group(group A) which indicated an increase in laxity when compared with its corresponding value in normal pregnancy group(group B). While Comparison between median values ofKt 1000 in the two studied groups measured at both knees, there was no a statistically significant difference.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups which was greater ingestational diabetes group(group A) during measurement of both knees by Lachman test, while in comparison of both knees in the same group by Lachman test there was no statistically significant difference in both groups
