joint effusion

Joint effusion and limited range of motion are common associated features.

A joint effusion is the presence of increased intra-articular fluid.

There are many causes of joint effusion.

Children with this syndrome often present with a joint effusion that is cool and resistant to anti-inflammatory therapy.

Ultrasound may reveal joint effusion.

MRI findings include: synovial enhancement, perisynovial edema and joint effusion.

The fracture can however be difficult to identify and often a joint effusion is used to increase one's suspicion of the presence of a fracture.

Other features include periarticular osteopenia, squaring of metacarpals and phalanges and bilateral joint effusions.

Findings are usually evident within 24 hours following the onset of infection and include: synovial enhancement, perisynovial edema and joint effusion.

CT can effectively detect non-calcified masses or those with only minimal calcification, which allows the radiologist to distinguish this condition from a simple joint effusion.

Joint effusions were visible and palpable above the left knee, and there was significant loss of smooth motion of the knee, passively performed.

It most commonly affects the knees, presenting with synovitis and joint effusions (collections of fluid within the joint capsules) lasting up to a year.

Examination reveals tenderness of the medial femoral condyle, joint effusion, and occasional locking of the knee joint.

Additional radiographic findings include joint effusion and degenerative changes such as joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis, and osteophyte formation.

Physical examination of a patient with ankle OCD often returns symptoms of joint effusion, crepitus, and diffuse or localized tenderness.

OA is the most common cause of joint effusion, sometimes called water on the knee in lay terms, an accumulation of excess fluid in or around the knee joint.
