Abstract

This chapter deals with the clinical value of nuclear medicine, in particular SPECT/CT, in patients with knee injuries. A thorough overview of nuclear medicine imaging protocols, diagnostic algorithms and the clinical value for different knee pathologies is given. These knee pathologies or variants include patients with anterior knee pain; jumper’s knee; runner’s knee; patellar dislocation; patellar maltracking; patellar fractures; meniscal lesions; ligament tears such as anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament or collaterals; Stieda-Pellegrini lesion; cartilage lesions; osteochondral lesions; overloading of a knee compartment; osteoarthritis and fractures. The clinical value is further illustrated by images and typical instructional case descriptions.
