Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: A joint effusion is a common finding in patient with knee pain and swelling. USG is very much sensitive in detection of fluid. Role of ultrasound is multifaceted. Aims and Objectives: To re-establish the gradually increasing role of USG in detecting pathologies in patients presenting with pain and swelling of knee and also to establish its role in FNAC /Biopsy. Materials and Methods: Selected cases from orthopaedic OPD of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital constituted the material of my study. A total number of 50 cases of swollen and painful knee joints were studied in these series. Result: In my study I found 23 cases of echo free effusion and 8 cases of echogenic effusion. Most cases of echo free effusion were either due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Echogenic effusion was mostly related to traumatic injury to the knee. Conclusion: Ultrasound is the first choice of investigation in detecting and diagnosing peri-articular pathology and it is best choice for guidance of needle puncture or biopsy in peri-articular diseases.
