X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE RIGHT KNEE

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE RIGHT KNEE

INDICATION FOR STUDY:           Pain.

FINDINGS:               Views of the right knee shows what appears to be narrowing of both medial and lateral joint compartments.  Spurring of the medial and femoral condyle as well as the medial and tibial plateau is also noted.  There is loss of the retropatellar space and irregularity to the posterior patellar surface to some degree.  No effusion is seen.

IMPRESSION:         Degenerative changes of the right knee as described.

Thank you for the referral.

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE RIGHT KNEE

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE RIGHT KNEE

INDICATION FOR STUDY:           Pain and swelling.

FINDINGS:               Views of the right knee suggest some minimal narrowing of the medial joint compartment.  Also, there is some early spur formation seen involving the medial femoral condyle and the medial tibial plateau, though this is minimal as noted.  No acute osseous injury is seen and no evidence of prior trauma.  The patella is intact.  There is narrowing of the retropatellar space.  No effusion is identified.

IMPRESSION:         Very early and minimal degenerative change involving the medial joint compartment.

Thank you for the referral.

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE BILATERAL KNEES, THREE VIEWS EACH

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE BILATERAL KNEES, THREE VIEWS EACH

FINDINGS:             Three views of each knee are submitted for evaluation.

Examination is unremarkable.  There is no acute bony abnormality noted.

There is no evidence of joint effusion.

There is no fracture or dislocation.

IMPRESSION:        Unremarkable study.  Clinical correlation and if indicated, further evaluation with MRI is suggested.

Thank you for the referral.

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE BILATERAL KNEES, SIX VIEWS

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE BILATERAL KNEES, SIX VIEWS

FINDINGS:             There is degenerative joint disease and joint space loss in all three joint space compartments.  There is degenerative spurring.  There is no fracture or dislocation.  There is large body habitus.  The right and left knee appears symmetric.  If there is any further concern, MRI examination or further evaluation of the knees may be considered.

Thank you for the referral.
