APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Loose bodies are fragments of cartilage or bone that freely float inside the knee joint space. They can be the result of an injury or from generalized wear and tear over time. Depending on the severity of the condition, there can be one or many loose bodies inside the joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -You may feel something floating in your knee joint because loose pieces of cartilage could be in there. You may also hear strange clicking sounds coming from your knee. The only way to know for sure if you have an articular cartilage injury in your knee is to book a consultation with Dr.

Detailed explanation-3: -The patella is a floating bone that works as a fulcrum for the quadriceps muscle (you will read about this later) to function properly. This joint is called the patellofemoral joint and allows the patella to move up and down, and the knee bends and straightens.

Detailed explanation-4: -Arthroscopic surgery can correct this condition. If the kneecap is only partially dislocated, your doctor may recommend nonsurgical treatments, such as exercises and braces. Exercises will help strengthen the muscles in your thigh so that the kneecap stays aligned.
