| Abstract | ||
| Background: Osteoarthritis is a major joint disease between the elderly with the knee is the most common joint involved. Ultrasound is used for non-invasive assessment of knee joint status with evaluation of the meniscal position, joint space narrowing and presence of osteophytic lipping under load-bearing position for early detection of osteoarthritis. The aim of the study is to assess the role of high-resolution ultrasonography with dynamic assessment in evaluation of the medial compartment knee joint osteoarthritis.To investigate the correlation between the O.A grade determined by radiography and that by ultrasound evaluation and to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of O.A determined using US. Methods: This study was carried out at Radio diagnosis Department, Zagazig University Hospitals. The present study was carried on 35 patients of knee osteoarthritis. Diagnostic work up was done including plain radiography & MSUS. Results: Total of 38 of the 40 knees were correctly diagnosed by ultrasonography with sensitivity of 95 % and specificity of 80 %. The predictive value positive was 86.36 % and the predictive value negative was 92.3 % with 88.5% accuracy. Conclusions: Our results indicate that knee ultrasonography provides valuable information for the assessment of knee joint osteoarthritis. However, MSUS has an advantage of dynamic evaluation with qualitative and semi-quantitative assessment for early detection of knee O.A with good diagnostic accuracy. | ||
