Stubbs Imperial College London SurgicalSociety Junior Anatomy Series Interpreting Radiology of the Knee X-rays • Will tell you about bones and their integrity • Looking at bone outlines will allow you to pick up fractures. If it’s discontinuous, it’sa fracture. • Will allow youto see joint spaces, which are reduced in osteoarthritis MRIs • Will allow youto see soft tissues • Are typically sagittal, but may be coronal sections • Normal menisci will appear black • Bone appears grey In general • Locating the fibula will allow you to deduce which knee is being imaged • In a Coronal Section, the lateral side of the tibia is thinner • The ACL and PCL are named according to their attachment to the tibia bone rather than the femur Chelsea A. Stubbs Defne Artun (CPA Lead) Imperial College London SurgicalSociety Junior Anatomy Series Common Clinical Presentations Osteoarthritis • Reduced Range of Motion • Pain worse on movement, better on rest • History of Trauma • Middle to old age • X-ray shows LOSS (loss of joint space, osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis, subchondral cysts) • Possible muscle atrophy due to antalgic gait • In flare up, may detect warm temperature Septic arthritis • Warm temperature • Effusion • Tenderness • Reduced Range of Motion Rheumatoid arthritis • Female • Pain better with movement • May have other features such as ulnar deviation of hands • History of autoimmune disease Chelsea A. Stubbs Defne Artun (CPA Lead) Imperial College London SurgicalSociety Junior Anatomy Series Common Clinical Presentations Torn ACL • Positive Anterior Draw (without posterior sag) • Pain on passive and active flexion and extension • Playssports such as rugby or football Chelsea A.
