Recesses along the posterior margin of the infrapatellar (Hoffa’s) fat pad: prevalence and morphology on routine MR imaging of the knee

The objective is to evaluate the prevalence and morphology of recesses along the posterior margin of the infrapatellar fat pad on routine MR imaging of the knee. MR images of 213 knees in 204 consecutive individuals were evaluated with regard to the prevalence and morphology of recesses (a suprahoffatic recess close to the inferior border of the patella and the previously described infrahoffatic recess anterior to the inferior portion of the infrapatellar plica). The recesses were analyzed with regard to synovial effusion and the condition of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Anatomic dissection was made in 29 knees in 16 cadavers to verify the presence of the suprahoffatic recess. The infrahoffatic recess was present in 45% of the knees and mostly linear in shape (44%). The suprahoffatic recess was detected in 71% of the knees (45% in cadavers). Very weak to moderate positive correlation was found between the synovial effusion or the condition of the ACL and the presence and dimensions of the recesses. An awareness of the recesses in the infrapatellar fat pad is important in order to distinguish between pathology and anatomic variants on routine MR imaging of the knee.     

Clinical consequences of bone bruise around the knee

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation between bone bruise and (peri-)articular derangement and to assess the impact of bone bruise on presentation and short term course of knee complaints. We recorded MR abnormalities in 664 consecutive patients with sub-acute knee complaints. Patients were divided in four groups: patients with and without intra-articular knee pathology, subdivided in patients with and without bone bruise. We assessed function and symptoms at the time of MR and 6 months thereafter. Bone bruises were diagnosed in 124 of 664 patients (18.7%). Patients with bone bruise had significantly more complete ACL, lateral meniscal, MCL and LCL tears. Both with and without intra-articular pathology patients with bone bruise had a significantly poorer function at the time of MR (Noyes score of, respectively, 313.21 versus 344.81 and 306.98 versus 341.19). Patients with bone bruise and intra-articular pathology showed significantly more decrease in activity (decrease of Tegner score from 6.28 to 2.12 versus 5.70–2.55). At 6 months there were no significant differences in clinical parameters between the four groups. We concluded that bone bruise in combination with MCL tear is an important cause of initial clinical impairment in patients with sub-acute knee complaints. Clinical improvement within 6 months is more pronounced than in patients without bone bruise.     

High resolution computed tomography of knee menisci

Sixty four menisci in 22 patients were examined by non-contrast high resolution computed tomography (CT). Fifty four menisci were imaged on a GE 8800 CT scanner. The other 10 were imaged on a GE 9800 CT scanner. Nineteen menisci were shown to be torn on arthrography and/or arthroscopy—12 medially and 7 laterally. The remaining menisci were normal. When the meniscal CTs were reviewed collectively by three observers without knowledge of arthrographic or arthroscopic results, sensitivity was 63%, specificity was 93%, and accuracy was 84%. Although only 10 menisci were imaged on the GE 9800 scanner, the sensitivity in this subset of scans was 83%, the specificity 100%, and the accuracy was 90%. These results suggest that noncontrast CT cannot replace arthrography or arthroscopy, but it is possible that images obtained on the GE 9800 or comparable CT scanner may be accurate enough to be used for screening of meniscal tears in selected patients.     

MRI in assessment of sports related knee injuries

Purpose

To investigate the accuracy of MRI in assessment of sports related knee injuries.

Materials and methods

From August 2012 to March 2013 thirty patients referred for sports related knee pain have been included in this study. Patients were subjected to a dedicated MR knee study and correlated knee arthroscopy and surgery.

Results

The study included thirty patients complaining of sports related knee pain, only 5 patients (16.6%) were with normal MRI findings and 25 patients (83.4%) were with abnormal MRI findings. Among the 25 patients who had injuries of their knees, 15 patients (60%) had ACL injuries, 2 patients (8%) had PCL injuries, 10 patients (40%) had meniscal injuries, 8 patients (32%) had collateral ligament injuries, 5 patients (20%) had bone injuries and 2 patients (8%) had muscular injuries. Only 7 patients (28%) were represented with isolated injury and 18 patients (72%) were represented with combined injuries. In correlation with arthroscopies and surgeries, morphological analysis was true-positive in 23 (92%) patients of the 25 injured patients, and true-negative in 3 (60%) patients of the 5 normal patients. Morphological analysis revealed overall 92% sensitivity and 60% specificity. Regarding the 15 patients who had ACL injuries, 13 patients (86.6%) were true-positive and 8 patients (80%) of the 10 patients who had meniscal injuries were true-positive.

Conclusion

MRI represents the optimal imaging tool in the evaluation of the sports related knee injuries, which has been shown to be an accurate and non invasive method of diagnosing ligament, meniscal, cartilage and muscular knee injuries.

Magnetic resonance imaging of knee trauma

This article reviews the magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of normal knee anatomy and the role of MRI in the evaluation of knee trauma. Images acquired in the sagittal plane are the most useful. A combination of T₁- and T₂-weighted spin echo pulse sequences is most commonly employed. A meniscal tear is identified by an intrameniscal signal which extends to the joint surface. MR and arthroscopic findings agree in more than 90% of patients. It is important to be familiar with the MRI appearance of normal anatomic variants that may be confused with meniscal tears: the transverse geniculate ligament, the hiatus of the popliteal tendon sheath, and the meniscofemoral ligaments. Tears in the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and collateral ligaments are also depicted.The following article is one in a series of review articles which represent expansions of papers presented at the annual meeting of the International Skeletal Society and were solicited by the editors     

Arthroscopic treatment of patients with moderate arthrofibrosis after total knee replacement

The purpose of this study was to document the effect of arthroscopic management in patients with knee stiffness after total knee replacement. We present a case series study, in which 32 patients have been treated for moderate arthrofibrosis of the knee after total knee replacement, with the same regimen. We have excluded all cases of stiffness, because of infection, mechanical mal-alignment, loosening of the implants and other obvious reasons of stiffness of the knee, rather than pure arthrofibrosis. All patients first underwent a trial of conservative treatment before going for arthroscopic management. A pain catheter for femoral nerve block was inserted just before anesthesia for post-operative pain management. Arthroscopic arthrolysis of the intra-articular pathology was performed in a standardized technique with release of all fibrous bands in the suprapatellar pouch, reestablishing the medial and lateral gutter, release of the patella, resection of the remaining meniscal tissue or an anterior cyclops, if needed. Intensive physiotherapy and continuous passive motion were to start immediately post-operatively. All the patients were available for the follow up and they were evaluated using the knee society rating system. A total of 25 of the 32 procedures resulted in an improvement of the patients knee score. All the knees operated upon had intra-articular fibrous bands, hypertrophic synovitis and peri-patellar adhesions. A total of eight patients suffered from an anterior cyclops lesion and six patients showed pseudomenicus. In 19 cases a medial and lateral relapse of the patella was performed; only 5 patients got an isolated lateral release. The mean knee flexion was 119° (100–130) at the end of arthroscopy and was 97° (75–115) at the last follow up. The eight patients with extension lags decreased from 27° (10°–35°) pre-operatively to 4° (0–10) at time of follow up. The average knee society ratings increased from 70 points prior to the arthroscopy to 86 at time of follow up, which was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.01, student’s t test). The average function score also showed improvement from 68 points pre-operatively to 85 at the time of final follow up. The average pain scores improved from 30 points pre-operatively to 41 at the time of final follow up. Our results showed that arthroscopic management of knee stiffness following total knee replacement is a safe and efficient method of treatment. Pain and functional knee scores can improve markedly.
