A study to determine the routine radiography practice for the investigation of acute trauma cases and those with suspected arthritis of the knee was carried out by questionnaires sent to radiologists in 41 countries. The role of radiology in the investigation of chondromalacia patellae was also ascertained. Some of the reasons for the diversities of practice are discussed. The necessity for further views of the knee to supplement the two standard projections was assessed for various diagnostic entities. It became clear that if occult fractures were not to be missed, patients with knee effusions following acute trauma required additional views if a lesion was not shown by the anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views. In contrast, two views of the knee sufficed for examination of most entities affecting the knee.
通过向41个国家的放射科医生发送调查问卷，开展了一项研究，以确定针对急性创伤病例和疑似膝关节关节炎患者的常规放射检查方法。同时还确定了放射学在髌骨软化症检查中的作用。文中讨论了一些检查方法存在差异的原因。针对各种诊断实体，评估了采用膝关节额外投照以补充两种标准投照的必要性。结果表明，如果不想漏诊隐匿性骨折，对于急性创伤后出现膝关节积液的患者，若前后位（AP）和侧位片未显示病变，则需要额外投照。相比之下，对于大多数累及膝关节的疾病，膝关节的两种投照就足够了。
