“…This implies that some of these complete septae could persist into early neonatal life and could then account for the localisation of infection in either the medial or lateral half of the knee. Arthroscopic drainage of an infected knee joint may be difficult in such situations, as the passage of the arthroscope may be hindered by the presence of a complete infrapatellar septum [9,15]. It is pertinent to note that, in the child who had an arthroscopic lavage through the superolateral portal, the medial femoral condyle was destroyed.…”

“…They estimate that, by the tenth week of intra-uterine development, the knee joint consists of a single cavity [7]. However, several studies have also demonstrated the presence of synovial folds or plicae in foetuses, children and adults that are considered to be remnants of septae separating the compartments of the developing joint [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Purpose The study was undertaken to: (1) describe the characteristic radiological features and problems of management of the loss of one condyle of the femur or tibia following septic arthritis of the knee in infancy and (2) test a hypothesis of the cause of the loss of a single condyle. Methods Radiographs of eight children with the loss of one condyle of the femur or the tibia following septic arthritis in infancy were reviewed. The course and outcome in two of these children who underwent reconstructive operations were studied. The knees of 35 stillborn foetuses were dissected to determine if the presence of synovial septae could account for the isolated loss of one condyle following infection. Results All eight cases showed characteristic features of loss of half the epiphysis, the underlying physis and part of the adjacent metaphysis; the other condyle was totally spared. The two children who underwent elaborate reconstructive procedures had poor outcomes at skeletal maturity, despite a series of additional operations. The foetal cadaveric study showed that complete infrapatellar synovial septae are present in some foetuses approaching 40 weeks of gestation. Conclusions The pattern of loss of a femoral or tibial condyle following septic arthritis is consistent with total preservation of the other condyle. The outcome of surgical reconstruction of the missing condyle is poor. The presence of a complete synovial septum could result in the localisation of infection to one half of the joint, with the destruction of one condyle.

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a commonly used tool when evaluating patients with acute knee injury or chronic knee pain. Although it has shown excellent accuracy in diagnosing knee pathology, there remain many potential pitfalls and missed lesions. These can be secondary to inherent technical limitations or artifacts related to MR. Also subtle pathology can be overlooked, and anatomic structures and associated variants can be misinterpreted as tears. In this article, we will review some of the more common misses or pitfalls that occur in the setting of sport-related injuries.
