Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee was originally described as a distinct disorder in 1968. Characteristic imaging findings and distinctive demographic and clinical factors help distinguish this disease from other osteonecrotic conditions, with which it can be confused. This report presents a rare, atypical case of bicondylar spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee in a young patient, and highlights the importance of a clear understanding of the clinical and radiographic characteristics of this condition to accurately diagnose and treat it when evaluating osteonecrotic lesions of the knee.
膝关节自发性骨坏死最初于1968年被描述为一种独特的疾病。其特征性的影像学表现以及独特的人口统计学和临床因素有助于将这种疾病与其他可能与之混淆的骨坏死情况区分开来。本报告介绍了一名年轻患者双膝自发性骨坏死的罕见非典型病例,并强调了在评估膝关节骨坏死病变时,清楚了解这种疾病的临床和影像学特征对于准确诊断和治疗的重要性。
