    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Monoarticular arthritis can arise from various causes, including foreign body retention.
    • Accurate localization of intra-articular foreign bodies is crucial for effective treatment.

    Observation:

    • A case of monoarticular arthritis in the left knee was observed.
    • The arthritis was attributed to a retained thorn within the joint.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) successfully localized the intra-articular thorn.
    • Conventional imaging, including plain films, gallium scan, and 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan, failed to detect the thorn.

    Implications:

    • CT imaging is a valuable tool for diagnosing retained intra-articular foreign bodies.
    • Early and precise diagnosis can prevent complications associated with retained foreign bodies in joints.
