English: Postoperative X-ray of normal knee prosthesis of a 73 year old man who had osteoarthritis. Lateral view. It shows the following measurements used for post-operative evaluation : Anterior femoral notching (the femoral component causing reduced thickness of the distal femur anteriorly), which seems to cause an increased risk of fractures ...

Knee replacement. Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability, most commonly offered when joint pain is not diminished by conservative sources. [1] [2] It may also be performed for other knee diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Lateral view X-ray of the knee demonstrating fragmentation of the tibial tubercle with overlying soft tissue swelling. Specialty: Orthopedics: Symptoms: Painful bump just below the knee, worse with activity and better with rest: Usual onset: Males between the ages of 10 and 15 Females between 8 and 14: Duration: Few weeks to years. Risk factors
Prognosis. ~30% risk of recurrence [4] Frequency. 6 per 100,000 per year [4] A patellar dislocation is a knee injury in which the patella (kneecap) slips out of its normal position. [5] Often the knee is partly bent, painful and swollen. [1] [2] The patella is also often felt and seen out of place. [1] Complications may include a patella ...
The posterior fat pad is normally pressed in the olecranon fossa by the triceps tendon, and hence invisible on lateral radiograph of the elbow. When there is a fracture of the distal humerus, or other pathology involving the elbow joint, inflammation develops around the synovial membrane forcing the fat pad out of its normal physiologic resting place.

No radiographic features of osteoarthritis. 1. Possible joint space narrowing (normal joint space is at least 2 mm at the superior acetabulum) [7] and osteophyte formation. 2. Definite osteophyte formation with possible joint space narrowing. 3. Multiple osteophytes, definite joint space narrowing, sclerosis and possible bony deformity.
