We present a case of an intra-articular osteoid osteoma in the knee that was mistaken for a painful fabella syndrome after unsuccessful knee arthroscopy for the treatment of postero-lateral knee pain. In this case both the initial clinical presentation and the imaging proved to be deceiving. The diagnosis of intra-articular osteoid osteoma was considered only once typical clinical features appe...

INTRODUCTION Knee osteoarthritis is characterized by inflammation in the intra-articular space or synovial membrane, breakdown of articular cartilage, and sclerosis of the subchondral bone. Intra-articular injections of Sodium hyaluronate which have viscoelastic and protective effect on articular cartilage and restores normal articular homeostasis. The efficacy of these injections is diminished...

The calcaneus is the most commonly fractured tarsal bone. Displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures are usually caused by a fall from height with one or both heels directly hitting the ground. Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures are complex and highly disabling injuries. There is ongoing debate regarding the optimal treatment for each type of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fra...

Recordings were obtained from slowly adapting mechanoreceptors innervating the posterior aspect of the cat knee joint capsule. It was observed that, with rising intra-articular volume, initially both intra-articular pressure and the neural discharge increased. This increase was dependent on the rate of fluid accumulation within the joint. However, the joint nerve discharge invariably levelled o...
