Abstract

Timely diagnosis and appropriate aggressive treatment of patients of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) improve quality of life and outcome. In a reported case of JIA, symptoms started after knee strain occurred while walking. Arthroscopic examination and magnetic resonance imaging was helpful. Treatment with MTX and adalimumab was effective and there was no recurrence for one year.
