Summary
A misdiagnosed left knee pain was ultimately identified as severe left hip osteoarthritis. This case highlights the importance of a thorough musculoskeletal examination to pinpoint the true source of joint pain, especially after initial imaging is inconclusive.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Musculoskeletal Medicine
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Persistent knee pain following a fall in a patient with a prior total knee replacement.
- Initial diagnostic imaging (X-rays) of the knee failed to reveal an underlying pathology.
- Conservative pain management provided no relief, necessitating further investigation.

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...
