Project Details
Knee effusions are common in mechanical and inflammatory arthropathies. Increasingly it has been recognized that removal/reduction of joint effusions play a key role in improving pain and dysfunction at the knee joint, enabling rehabilitation and recovery. It may be possible to use disease modifying agents to treat knee joints with OA in future. This project looks at different methods (clinical, imaging) used to measure the presence and size of joint effusions. The study aims to validate these methods, and compare them.
