Case Report: Lipoma Arborescens of the Knee

May 12, 2022 • By John Nawrocki, MD, Kevin Hess, DO, & Maryah Mansoor, MBBS

Lipoma arborescens is a rare, benign intra-articular lesion characterized by diffuse replacement of synovial tissue by mature adipocytes, causing a villous lipomatous proliferation of the synovial membrane.1 Typically, this is a mono­articular condition, with the knee being the most commonly affected although it has been rarely reported to occur in an oligo-/polyarticular fashion and in… [Read More]

Case Report: Persistent Knee Warmth Mimics Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

March 14, 2022 • By Eman Bamashmous, MBBS, Buthaina Al Adba, MBBS, CABP, & Sharon Bout-Tabaku, MD, MSCE

This image from the MRI demonstrates suprapatellar bursal fluid of mixed signal.

Intra-articular venous malformations of the knee are an uncommon cause of knee pain in children. Presenting symptoms of this rare subtype of venous malformation often include nonspecific pain and joint swelling, which may be episodic, and accompanied by limited range of motion. The signs and symptoms can mimic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Timely diagnosis of… [Read More]

Telehealth Exercise & Diet Programs Curb Pain & Boost Function in Knee OA

December 3, 2021 • By Marilynn Larkin

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—In patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), telehealth-delivered exercise and diet programs are superior to electronic health information for reducing pain and improving function, although the contribution of diet is modest, a randomized trial shows.1 “This research provides evidence from a large clinical trial to help tease out how much benefit dietary weight… [Read More]

Are Medicare Beneficiaries with Knee OA Receiving Enough Conservative Care?

June 22, 2021 • By Marilynn Larkin

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Non-surgical care for knee osteoarthritis (OA) is uncommon among older adults, especially in regions of the U.S. where total knee arthroplasty rates are high, a large retrospective analysis shows.1 “As rheumatologists, we often think of knee arthroplasty as the last resort, after patients have tried and failed more conservative treatments, such as… [Read More]

Total Knee Replacement Cost-Effective, Even with Obesity & Comorbidities

March 29, 2021 • By Lisa Rapaport

(Reuters Health)—Total knee replacement surgery can be a cost-effective procedure for patients with severe obesity and osteoarthritis (OA), even when they also have comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests. Researchers did a cost-benefit analysis for two patient populations (over 65 years, and age 50 to 65) who had… [Read More]

Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy Tied to Radiographic Knee OA

September 29, 2020 • By By Lisa Rapaport

(Reuters Health)—Patients with a degenerative meniscus tear who get arthroscopic partial meniscectomy have similar five-year outcomes and increased risk of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) as without surgery, a small study suggests. Researchers in Finland randomly assigned 146 adults with degenerative meniscus tear confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to receive either arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM)… [Read More]

Sedentary Lifestyle Linked to Reduced Quality of Life in People with Knee OA

September 21, 2020 • By Mary Beth Nierengarten

Case Report: Ultrasound Reveals Cause of Post-Arthroplasty Knee Pain

April 15, 2020 • By Mark H. Greenberg, MD, RMSK, RhMSUS, Elijah Mitcham, MD, Prem Patel, James W. Fant Jr., MD, & Frank R. Voss, MD

Right: The same view as 2A, with the common peroneal nerve outlined in yellow with a cross-sectional area of 21 mm2.

A 65-year-old woman was referred by an orthopedist to a rheumatologist for left knee pain. Previously, in 2014, she underwent left total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for severe osteoarthritis in a different institution. Following the procedure, she experienced severe chronic anterolateral knee pain at rest, exacerbated by walking. Because she was rendered wheelchair bound and required… [Read More]
