Study of the Value Of 3.0T Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Bilateral Osteoarthritis Of the Knee with Medial Meniscal Protrusion
Objective To investigate the value of 3.OT MRI abdominal coils in bilateral knee osteoarthritis with medial meniscal protrusion.Methods Retrospective collection of surgically,arthroscopically and clinically confirmed cases of osteoarthritis in both knees.The clinical characteristics of the group with osteoarthritis of both knees with meniscus herniation(Group A),the group with meniscus herniation of one knee(Group B)and the group with meniscus herniation of both knees(Group C)were compared and analysed.The imaging data of the knee with meniscal herniation(study group)was compared with that of the knee without meniscal herniation(control group),focusing on the characteristics of meniscal damage,cartilage damage and ligament damage,and analysing the relationship between osteoarthritis of the knee with medial meniscal herniation and the imaging features.Results Of the 62 patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis,37 patients had a prominent medial meniscus in both knees,11 patients had a prominent medial meniscus in one knee and 14 patients did not have a prominent medial meniscus in both knees;there were no significant differences between the three groups in terms of gender and age.Of 124 knees,85 knees with meniscal herniation were statistically significant in terms of tibial and femoral cartilage damage compared to 39 knees without meniscal herniation(P<0.05).Conclusion A one-stop scan of both knees is completed using the abdominal coil,and in patients with osteoarthritis of both knees,not only can meniscal herniation be detected,but also damage to cartilage,ligaments and menisci can be diagnosed.Knee with osteoarthritis of the knee with meniscus protrusion,compared to knee without meniscus protrusion.Cartilage damage to the tibia and femur can be a characteristic imaging feature.
