“…US remission of effusion in the anterior knee (Graph 2) was the highest confi rmed in the week 0-3 in 60 % patients (13 US remission of Baker´s cyst (Graph 3) was the highest confi rmed in the week 0-3 in 62 % patients (12 patients in the group E in grade IV, 10 patients in the group F in grade III, 6 patients in the group G in grade II, 2 patients in the group H in grade I), in the week 3-6 in 29 % patients (2 patients in the group E in grade IV, 0 patients in the group F in grade III, 1 patient in the group G in grade II, 1 patient in the group H in grade I), in the week 6-16 in 13 % patients (0 patients in the group E in grade IV, 1 patient in the group F in grade III, 1 patient in the group G in grade II, 0 patients in the group H in grade I), in the week 16-24 in 0 % patients (0 patients in the group E in grade IV, 0 patients in the group F in grade III, 0 patients in the group G in grade II, 0 patients in the group H in grade I). At the end of study (week 24), 22 % (28 patients) did not change the initial US grade of Baker´s cyst.…”

Objectives:The study presented an ultrasound (US) monitoring of treatment as a new imaging US method with the results of therapy of clinically signifi cant knee osteoarthritis. Background: X-ray is widely used for knee osteoarthritis classifi cation, which does not involve the evaluation of the soft tissue. High frequency and high resolution US of joints (arthrosonography, echoarthrography) assess not only morphologic but also functional changes in the knee joint. Methods: In the prospective study, 110 patients with clinically signifi cant knee osteoarthritis were treated nonoperative. US examination and US monitoring of therapy was performed during 24 weeks therapy period. A remission of pathomorphologic (marginal osteofytes) and pathophysiologic (effusion in anterior knee and Baker´s cyst) attributes were evaluated according the US classifi cation. Results: Pathomorphologic attributes changes showed a static state, without remission or progression. Pathophysiologic attributes changes showed a remission during the study period. The highest remission was in the fi rst three weeks, 60 % anterior knee effusion and 62 % Baker´s cyst. At the end of study, no changes from the initial US grade was observed in 16 % of effusion in anterior knee and 22 % of Baker´s cyst. Therapeutic resistant Baker´s cyst was present at the end of study in 36 %. Conclusion:We demonstrated a new method -US monitoring of therapy, which can objectivize the effi ciency of treatment of clinically signifi cant knee osteoarthritis. We would recommend US monitoring of therapy for the routine use in orthopedic clinical praxis (Tab. 6, Graph 3, Fig. 3, Ref. 15). Text in PDF www.elis.sk.

“…However, they also mentioned, presumably as characteristics of feasibility, 'convenience' and 'lack of radiation hazards', which we interpreted as outcomes addressing a few more of the previously proposed domains, namely acceptability and practicality. In the study comparing US cartilage scans with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived data [13], feasibility is seen only as the US-MRI correlation coefficient and US evaluation repeatability. The study that investigated the possibility of introducing MSUS in internal medicine residency [10] took into consideration aspects such as residents' training, cognitive skill set and competence evaluation, attending perception of the trainers and trainees (aspects pertaining to the implementation and practicality domains), but failed to consider any other feasibility area.…”

“…The study that investigated the possibility of introducing MSUS in internal medicine residency [10] took into consideration aspects such as residents' training, cognitive skill set and competence evaluation, attending perception of the trainers and trainees (aspects pertaining to the implementation and practicality domains), but failed to consider any other feasibility area. Only 5 of the studies offered details regarding the equipment used and its technical characteristics [12][13][14][15]18], while almost all included an ample description of the assessed joints and features or structures [11][12][13][14][15][16]18].…”

“…The results of the semi-quantitative evaluation of the selected papers, as detailed in the Methods section above, are as follows: the highest score (3) was obtained by 6 of the papers [10][11][12]15,17,18], while two publications scored one point each [13,16] and one received 2 points [14]. Based on the set of focus areas previously mentioned, none of the works included in the final analysis practiced a systematic assessment of all feasibility domains, acquiring less than half of the maximum score we proposed.…”

Objective: To identify and analyse existing data regarding knee ultrasound (US) feasibility in clinical practice. Material and methods: A systematic literature review was performed using the terms: (“knee”) AND (“ultrasound” OR “ultrasonography”) AND (“feasibility” OR “pilot” OR “proof of concept”). Feasibility studies regarding knee US or US aided maneuver involving knee joint, published during 2005-2015, were selected and evaluated against a complex framework constructed around mandatory key areas for feasibility studies: acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, adaptation, integration and expansion. Results: One hundred and fifty-nine publications were identified, of which 9 were included in the final analysis: 6 dealt with the development and implementation of novel US scores, while the rest focused on implementing MSUS in clinical practice, evaluating the usefulness of articular cartilage US assessment and the feasibility of sonography for intra-articular knee injections, respectively. Six studies quantified feasibility as time spent for the evaluation, with only two addressing areassuch as acceptability, implementation and practicality, although none of these systematically assessed all feasibility domains. Conclusion: Knee US feasibility is still poorly addressed; the time required for US assessment is the main area addressed. This information gap should be properly addressed in future works, in order to ensure the right place for this technique.
