The value of ultrasonography in the evaluation of the septic arthritis of the knee joint

Abstract

Improved technology and the development of high-resolution transducers have made sonography of the structures of the musculoskeletal system possible. Sonography has several inherent advantages: it is relatively inexpensive, allows comparison with opposite normal side, uses no radiation and can be performed at bedside or in the operating room, if necessary. it is important to keep in mind that sonography is readily accepted by patients, non-invasive and as efficacious as the other diagnostic imaging systems. In this article, we reviewed the application of sonography for evaluation of septic arthritis of the knee joint which is of clinical importance and frequently encountered as a disease of the musculoskeletal system. In our study on 12 patients between the years 1990-1991 in the 2nd clinic of orthopaedics and traumatology of Kartal State Hospital we found it very useful in the diagnosis, differantial diagnosis, treatment and observation.
