Abstract

The author emphasizes the necessity to use all clinical and paraclinical examination methods in rheumatology to assess an early and correct diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. She emphasizes the importance of examination of the articular punctate and importance of the synoviogram in differential diagnostic considerations. The author reflects also on the importance of the frequently omitted unpretentious examination method--needle biopsy of the joints.

[Diagnostic imaging of hemophilic osteoarthropathy].

Presently, the degree of the hemophilic arthropathy is estimated by the classification system of Pettersson, which is recommended by the Orthopedic Advisory Committee of the World Federation of Hemophilia. This classification system bases upon plain radiographs of the joints and analyses only those changes which represent the progression of the arthropathy. The value of this classification system has been established by inter-observer studies. However, it shows drawbacks at the exact definition of some parameters. Presently, it is more valuable for longitudinal than for transversal studies. Due to the possibilities of an adequate substitution therapy, only minor degrees of an arthropathy are observed in children. The ankle joints are more severly affected than the elbow joints and they more than the knee joints. This distribution is explained by an increasing sports activity in children. If more than 3 joint bleedings occur within a year the invent of an arthropathy must be presumed. Because the classification system of Pettersson analyses only osseous changes representing late changes, important early changes like hypertrophy of the synovialis and focal destruction of the joint cartilage are overlooked. Magnetic resonance imaging is suitable to show these early changes reliably. MRI can be recommended for the investigation of recurrently bleeding joints without evidence of major osseous changes and for decision making to perform a synovectomy.

Radiography in osteoarthritis of the knee.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial process affecting cartilage and subchondral bone. Conventional radiographs are inexpensive and readily available. The increased knowledge with regard to interpreting weightbearing radiographs of the tibiofemoral joint and axial radiographs of the patellofemoral joint will enable these examinations to remain competitive techniques compared with more expensive and sophisticated methods, such as MR imaging, when investigating knee pain to establish the diagnosis and the severity of OA.

Intra-articular entrapment of the medial collateral ligament: radiographic and MRI findings.

Displacement of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) into the medial knee joint is an extremely rare finding associated with MCL tears, and is easily diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging. A case of intra-articular interposition of the MCL during a severe knee injury is presented. A radiolucent "fat stripe" sign and adjacent skin dimpling on radiographs may be relatively specific indicators of this injury.
