Abstract
Diagnosis of knee OA is based on symptoms of pain and stiffness, and the presence of OA changes on a knee radiograph. Radiographs are also used to monitor change and for treatment planning. Grading scales are applied to knee radiographs to rate the severity of OA. The study population consisted of patients with clinical picture of knee osteoarthritis such as pain that worsens during activity and improves with rest, joint stiffness and knee joint instability attending Orthopaedic and Rheumatology clinics during the study period. Kellgren – Lawrence Grading System will be used to diagnose and grade the severity of disease.MR imaging evaluation of both knee will be done in ‘Axial, Coronal and Sagittal T1-weighted spin-echo and Sagittal T2 weighted fat suppression techniques’.MR imaging based diagnosis and grading will be done based on ‘Whole Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score. K-L score among 100 knees of osteoarthritis on radiography, revealed that 40% of knees had grade 3, 27% of knees had grade1, 21% of knees had grade 2, 9% of knees had grade 4 and only 3% of knees had grade 0. On MRI, 87% of knees had ligament score of 0, 6% of knees had ligament score of 1, 7% of knees had ligament score of 2. There is a statistically significant relation was found between MRI findings and X ray findings in relation to compartment specific findings.
