Abstract:
The knee joint is the largest joint in the human body and is very complicated structure.
The objectives of this study were evaluate the knee joint disease using MRI and frequencies of knee joint disease and used to demonstrate the proper joint space, as well as to correlate the measurements with patient’s age and BMI.
The study included 50 patients examine for knee joint MRI .All patients were diagnosed abnormal and patients with arthritis fracture…etc. Excluded, this cases where obtained at Alrebat hospital .In the period from September to February.
The study used MRI machine semencie 1.5T.
Techniques was applied for knee joint exam, distance from medial femoral condyle to medial tibia condyle, the distant from lateral femoral condyle to lateral tibia condyle, and central distance at the middle of the joint laterally to the inter condylar tibia eminence distance between medial femoral condyle to medial tibia condoyle, from lateral femoral condyle to the lateral tibia condyle were measured in (mm) used computer soft ware .Regarding the results, it showed that there are significant effect in Cartilage Loss or Alteration in Meniscus has change in articular cartilage score contributed substantially to narrowing of the joint space.
There are relation between patient’s age and BMI and the knee joint space and No signficcant different between male and female.The measurements of the joint space decreased by increasing patient’s age and BMI.
