چکیده

Traumatic knee injuries affect numerous physically active individuals each year. Damage to subchondral bone, often termed bone bruise, is frequently detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the diagnosis of traumatic knee injury. Little is known regarding the effects of bone bruises on pain in individuals with traumatic knee injury. Understanding the presentation of self-reported pain in those with and without bone bruise at initial evaluation may elucidate whether additional treatment considerations are necessary to achieve successful clinical outcomes.

Determining Bone Bruises of the Knee with Magnetic Resonance Imaging

INTRODUCTION Injuries that develop secondary to minor traumas and cannot be detected via direct examination methods, but are detected via advanced imaging methods, such as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, are called occult bone injuries or bone bruises. In such injuries, diagnostic arthroscopy usually does not reveal any pathology. MR imaging methods are quite beneficial for the diagnosis of su...

Which preoperative factors, including bone bruise, are associated with knee pain/symptoms at index anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR)? A Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) ACLR Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND Increased knee pain at the time of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may potentially predict more difficult rehabilitation, prolonged recovery, and/or be predictive of increased knee pain at 2 years. HYPOTHESIS A bone bruise and/or other preoperative factors are associated with more knee pain/symptoms at the time of index anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and the p...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Diagnosis of Occult Osseous Injuries in Traumatic Knees

BACKGROUND Occult osseous knee injuries, such as bone bruises, can produce persistent pain and functional loss. Although bone bruises cannot be identified through direct examination or traditional radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an effective diagnostic method. Nevertheless, the natural history of these injuries remains to be fully defined. Therefore, we used MRI to ...

Traumatic Bone Bruises in the Athlete’s Knee

CONTEXT Mobile water within the bone marrow is a physiological phenomenon that is identifiable on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and signal changes can result from blood pooling, reactive hyperemia, edema, and microfracture. When these MR lesions are associated with an acute traumatic event, the findings are referred to as bone bruises and so represent a unique manifestation of injury. This r...
