Contrast arthrography aids in surgical planning for genu varum knee. This imaging technique helps identify associated lesions and guides treatment decisions, potentially avoiding more invasive procedures like arthroscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Primary genu varum is a common knee condition requiring surgical consideration.
  • Accurate pre-operative assessment is crucial for effective treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of contrast arthrography in primary genu varum.
  • To assess its role in surgical planning and decision-making for associated intra-articular lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 48 patients with symptomatic primary genu varum.
  • Classification of patients using the Trillat-Dejour method based on varus severity and imaging findings.
  • Contrast arthrography was performed to visualize joint structures.

Main Results:

  • All patients exhibited associated intra-articular lesions, ranging from synovitis to meniscal tears and advanced arthritis.

  • Contrast arthrography effectively identified these secondary pathologies.
  • The imaging modality proved useful in planning high tibial osteotomy and other surgical interventions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Contrast arthrography is a valuable tool for assessing primary genu varum.
    • It aids in surgical planning, including high tibial osteotomy, and helps determine the need for complementary procedures.
    • This method can potentially obviate the need for more invasive arthroscopy in some cases.
