About this study
Official title: Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Osteoarthritis. A Comparative Study to Conventional Radiography in Patients With Painful Knee.
Assessment of the effectiveness of ultrasonography in correlation to conventional imaging for the detection of the definite grading of knee osteoarthritis.
Read the detailed description
Assessment the effectiveness of ultrasonography in correlation to conventional imaging for the detection of the definite grading and the complication of knee osteoarthritis for patient complaining from knee pain coming to our radiology department for imaging with a clinical signs of knee osteoarthritis.
- Conditions
- Knee Osteoarthritis
- Being tested
- Ultrasound/ x rays
- Medical subject headings
- Osteoarthritis, Knee
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Ultrasound/ x raysRadiation
- The MSK Ultrasound (US) will be performed using a General Electric LOGIQ P9 unit / Toshiba Applio 500 unit using a 7-13 MHz linear array transducer.
- Conventional Radio-graphic examination bi-plane weight-bearing semi-flexed (15) radiograms will be taken of the target knee; one in the posteroanterior view, and one in the lateral medial view
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The outcome for the study is to test the MUS score's ability to discern various degrees of knee OA, in comparison with plain radiography and the 'Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score' (KOOS).
Measured: 6 months

What does the primary outcome measure?
The outcome for the study is to test the MUS score's ability to discern various degrees of knee OA, in comparison with plain radiography and the 'Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score' (KOOS). (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
