Diagnostic Value of Weight Bearing CT for Detecting Meniscal Tears

NCT04430829 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 70

Last updated 2024-05-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This observational study will compare the clinical value of weight-bearing CT arthrography (WBCTa) with that for MRI in evaluating meniscal and cartilage lesions of the knee joint. The MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) and modified MOAKS for WBCTa will be used to compare findings between MRI and WBCTa of the knee while comparing with surgical measurements using the ICRS scoring system.

The study hypothesis is that meniscal and cartilage lesions may be missed by non-weight-bearing MRI, but detected by WBCTa.

Conditions

  • Meniscus Tear, Tibial

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Weight-Bearing CT arthrography

A 20ml mixture of 5ml 0.5% ropivacaine, 5ml preservative-free sterile saline, and 10ml of non-ionic iodinated contrast media (e.g. iohexol 240) will be instilled into the knee joint of each patient prior to WBCTa imaging of the knee (LineUp, CurveBeam, LLC).

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Knee MRI

MRI will be acquired (in-plane 0.25mm x 0.25mm, and 1.00mm slab thickness/separation and In-plane 0.25mm x 0.25mm, and 2.00mm slab thickness/separation)
