Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Knee pain is a common complaint among athletes.
  • Conventional radiography is the initial diagnostic imaging modality.
  • Sometimes, standard X-rays do not reveal the underlying cause of knee pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the utility of knee arthrography in diagnosing athletic knee pain.
  • To illustrate various causes of knee pain in athletes that may not be evident on conventional radiographs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of cases involving athletes with knee pain.
  • Analysis of findings from conventional radiography.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic information obtained through knee arthrography.

Main Results:

  • Conventional radiographs are frequently useful for diagnosing athletic knee pain.
  • Knee arthrography provides valuable additional information when conventional radiography is non-specific.
  • Specific causes of knee pain in athletes were identified and are presented.

Conclusions:

  • Knee arthrography is a beneficial adjunctive imaging technique for athletes with persistent knee pain.
  • It aids in diagnosing conditions not visualized by standard radiography.
  • Understanding these causes is crucial for effective athlete management and treatment.
