The posteromedial corner of the knee (PMC) is an important anatomic structure that is easily seen but often overlooked on magnetic resonance (MR) images. Whereas the posterolateral corner has been referred to as the "dark side of the knee" by some authors owing to widespread lack of knowledge of its complex anatomy, even less is written about the PMC; yet it is as important as the posterolateral corner in multiligament injuries of the knee. The PMC lies between the posterior margin of the longitudinal fibers of the superficial medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the medial border of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The anatomy of the PMC can be complex and the literature describing it can be confusing, at times oversimplifying it and at other times adding unnecessary complexity. Its most important structures, however, can be described more simply as five major components, and can be better shown with illustrations that emphasize the anatomic distinctions. Injuries to the PMC are important to recognize, as disruption of the supporting structures can cause anteromedial rotational instability (AMRI). Isolated PMC injuries are rare; most occur in conjunction with injuries to other important stabilizing knee structures such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and PCL. Unrecognized and unaddressed injury of the PMC is one of the causes of ACL and PCL graft failures. Recognition of PMC injuries is critical, as the diagnosis will often change or require surgical management.

“…The role of sonographically guided (SG) diagnostic and interventional procedures in musculoskeletal and sports medicine is well established [15,[18][19][20][21]28,29]. De Maeseneer et al [10] published a detailed sonographic description of the distal SM complex, thus providing the possibility of performing precisely placed SG SM peritendinous-bursa injections. However, to our knowledge, SG SM bursa injection techniques have not been described or validated in the literature.…”

“…Using a high-frequency linear USS probe (7.5-12 MHz), both knees of the 48 hemiplegic stroke patients and 26 age-, sex-and BMI-matched healthy control subjects were examined. Sonographic examination was performed according to standardised scanning method [15,16].…”

“…Its disadvantage is that it is an invasive procedure. Musculoskeletal ultrasound (USS) on the other hand has many advantages, including its noninvasive nature, low cost, portability, dynamic real-time assessment, and easy side-to-side comparison [15][16][17].…”

PurposePost-stroke arthritic changes that may compromise rehabilitation have been described in the upper and lower limbs. We aimed at evaluating the soft tissue arthritic changes associated with pain in hemiplegic knees of stroke patients in our environment.Material and methodsHemiplegic and non-hemiplegic knees of 48 stroke patients as well as both knees of 26 apparently healthy controls were evaluated with a 7.5-12 MHz linear ultrasound probe. History of knee pain, and socio-demographic, laboratory, and clinical data were recorded for all study participants. Muscle tone and power as well as functional ambulatory category (FAC) were graded for the stroke patients. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20.ResultsPain was reported more often in hemiplegic than non-hemiplegic knees (n = 16 vs. n = 6, p = 0.021). The frequencies of soft tissue arthritic changes found, which included reduced lateral and medial femoral cartilage thickness, suprapatellar effusion, and irregular cartilage-bone margin, were similar between hemiplegic and non-hemiplegic knees (p > 0.05). Suprapatellar effusion and reduced lateral femoral cartilage thickness were more prevalent in the hemiplegic knees compared to the healthy control knees (p < 0.05). Stroke patients with pes anserinus tendinosis had greater risk of hemiplegic knee pain (HKP) when compared to stroke patients without this lesion (OR = 10; 95% CI: 1.7-61). FAC, muscle tone, and power showed no association with HKP.ConclusionsSoft tissue arthritic changes associated with knee pain are comparable between hemiplegic and non-hemiplegic knees of stroke patients. The risk of knee pain in stroke is higher in the presence of pes anserinus tendinosis.
