Book your X-ray of Both Knee Joints, AP view at a NABL & NABH-accredited diagnostic centre, Molecular Diagnostic and Therapy, with state-of-the-art equipment and comprehensive Radiology & diagnostic imaging services. This test will feature the front views of the knees to help evaluate the bones' alignment as well as bone and joint surface spaces that could lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and a loss of mobility.

About X-Ray Both Knee Joints AP View

It assists your doctor in looking at the bones and joint space in the knees and checking for any abnormalities that could lead to pain or walking problems. Acquired as well, it may help take both knees to show pattern matching of the right and left knee joints, helping evaluate for degenerative changes, alignment irregularities, or any other bony irregularities.

What is X-Ray Both Knee Joints AP View?

X-ray imaging uses a very small amount of ionizing radiation to form pictures of the bones and joints. AP view, the lower ends of the femurs, upper ends of the tibias and fibulas, and the joint spaces are seen. Photos can be used to assess how finding is narrowed, bone spur present or not, fractures, abnormalities of alignment and other abnormalities. The results are analyzed and correlated with patient complaints, physical exam, and medical history.

Common Reasons for X-Ray Both Knee Joints AP View

• Knee pain: This will evaluate the bone and joint problems producing pain in the knee.
• Osteoarthritis Suspects: Assesses loss of joint space, osteophytes, and other features of joint wear.
• Swelling or Discomfort: Can help with the detection of related bony abnormalities that may need additional investigation.
• Difficulty Walking: Evaluates the skeletal system and conditions of the joints that could impact walking.
• Joint Stiffness: Information related to structural changes from reduced knee motion.
• Outputs: Puts together a review of the assessment of the bone injury (fracture/bone injury) when clinically appropriate.
• Alignment assessed how the bones of each knee joint relate to each other.
• Knees: comparison may be made to identify the differences in the joint space, bone feel, and abnormalities that may have occurred in the knee.

Conditions Evaluated

Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Joint Disease

X-rays may be helpful to demonstrate the bony destruction (degeneration), loss of joint space, subchondral sclerosis, and osteophyte formation, which are characteristic of OA.

Fractures and Bone Injuries

This can aid in uncovering fractures and other bone problems in the exposed parts of the knee joint. Follow-up views or imaging may be necessary depending upon the suspected injury. A single AP view may not show every fracture. Additional X-ray views or other imaging may be needed when a fracture is suspected.

Bone Alignment Abnormalities

The still images help to evaluate the alignment of the femur and tibia, and can provide clues to changes in the alignment of the knee joints.

Inflammatory or Chronic Joint Changes

Some other changes in the joints which are characteristic of most inflammatory (and non-inflammatory) joint disease conditions may be seen on the X-rays. More tests might be needed on the clinical and non-clinical levels to determine the cause.

Bone Lesions and Other Structural Changes

This exam may aid in detecting some abnormal bone lesions, deformity, or structural changes that require follow-up care.
