Weight-bearing anteroposterior roentgenograms, essential in diagnosing osteoarthritis of the knee, should be a part of routine roentgenographic examination of the arthritic knee. The weight-bearing roentgenograms often show narrowing of the affected joint surface in addition to a varus or valgus deformity when the nonweight-bearing roentgenogram is normal. Also, the weight-bearing film is needed in the follow-up of tibial osteotomy patients.read more

The Forty-Five-Degree Posteroanterior Flexion Weight-Bearing Radiograph of the Knee
TL;DR: Comparison of the intraoperatively observed degeneration with the narrowing that was seen on the radiographs revealed that the posteroanterior weight-bearing radiographs that were made with the knee in 45 degrees of flexion were more accurate, more specific, and more sensitive than the conventional extension weight- bearing anteroposterior radiographs.

TL;DR: Methods of grading radiologic progression of osteoarthritis (OA) will be useful to the investigator in designing experimental studies and to the clinician in determining the rate of disease progression in an individual patient.

TL;DR: Radiography is primarily useful for the assessment of bony structures, while OCT is used for evaluation of articular cartilage and US for ligaments and the synovium, and MRI permits visualization of all intraarticular structures and pathologies.

Radiographic grading of the severity of knee osteoarthritis: relation of the Kellgren and Lawrence grade to a grade based on joint space narrowing, and correlation with arthroscopic evidence of articular cartilage degeneration.
TL;DR: Of 17 patients whose radiographic findings were normal by both the K/L criteria and the authors' JSN-weighted criteria, 7 had advanced tibiofemoral and/or patellofemoral compartment changes of OA seen at arthroscopy, emphasizing the insensitivity of the radiograph for detecting early articular cartilage loss.

Radiographic patterns and associations of osteoarthritis of the knee in patients referred to hospital.
TL;DR: In a group of patients referred to hospital osteoarthritis of the knee is usually bilateral and affects more than one compartment, and severe and multicompartmental radiographic changes are associated with calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition, nodal change, and polyarticular interphalangeal osteearthritis.

Tibial osteotomy for osteoarthritis of the knee
J. P. Jackson,W. Waugh +1 more
TL;DR: The results are presented of upper tibial osteotomy carried out in ten patients for osteoarthritis of the knee associated with lateral deformity, and in every case pain has been relieved, and recovery of movement after operation has been easy.

Tibial Osteotomy in Gonarthrosis (Osteo-Arthritis of the Knee)
TL;DR: Indications for corrective osteotomy in gonarthrosis should, therefore, include not only gross deformity, but also barely perceptible instability, supported by cineroentgenography and radionuclide scintimetry.

TL;DR: It is pointed out that the closing wedge technique lends itself particularly well to accurate correction of the deformity.
