“…The suprapatellar recess was defined as the area above the patella, the medial compartment as the area medial to the patella running inferiorly past the medial joint line to the inferomedial aspect of the joint capsule, and the lateral compartment as the area lateral to the patella running inferiorly past the lateral joint line to the inferolateral aspect of the joint capsule. 9,17 MSUS was performed by an experienced rheumatologist who had undergone appropriate training programs in the Korean College of Rheumatology. The clinician performed MSUS without knowing the clinical thyroid status of the patients.…”

“…In a study of healthy Korean adults, the mean suprapatellar recess thickness was 0.9 ± 0.9 mm. 17 Both knee joints were scanned for the presence of synovial hypertrophy, joint effusion in gray-scale (GS), and presence of the power Doppler (PD) signal. In GS, synovial hypertrophy was defined as an abnormally hypoechoic joint space, which was not compressible with the transducer.…”

Objective: To determine whether musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) abnormalities were associated with thyroid dysfunction. Methods: This study included 109 patients with thyroid diseases, including thyroid dysfunction or autoimmune thyroid disease. Patients were categorized as euthyroid, hypothyroid, or hyperthyroid based on their recent thyroid function tests. To evaluate MSUS, an experienced rheumatologist examined the presence of synovial fluid, synovial hypertrophy, and grade of inflammation in both gray-scale and power Doppler scans of the knee joint. Associations between MSUS abnormalities, thyroid status, visual analog scale (VAS) score for knee pain, and presence of thyroid autoantibodies were investigated. Results: MSUS abnormalities were more frequently associated with hyperthyroid or hypothyroid states than with a euthyroid state. High knee VAS score was significantly associated with overall MSUS severity score regardless of knee osteoarthritis. However, there was no difference in MSUS abnormalities based on the presence of thyroid autoantibodies. Conclusions: Both hypothyroid and hyperthyroid states were associated with MSUS abnormalities and knee arthralgia. MSUS examination may be helpful in uncontrolled thyroid dysfunction and knee arthralgia.

Introduction Considering disagreements on the normal range of median nerve cross‐sectional area (MNCSA) and insufficient data in the Iranian population, this study aimed to measure normal MNCSA. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, bilateral upper limbs of 99 subjects were assessed by sonography, and MNCSA was measured at three levels: forearm, carpal tunnel inlet (CTI), and carpal tunnel outlet (CTO). The association between MNCSA and demographic factors was assessed. Results Mean MNCSA was 6.33 mm2 at the forearm, 9.41 mm2 at CTI, and 10.67 mm2 at CTO. MNCSA was significantly higher in males (6.78 vs. 5.94 mm2 at the forearm, 9.98 vs. 8.92 mm2 at CTI, and 11.24 vs. 10.84 mm2 at CTO in males and females, respectively) and taller (>170 cm) subjects in all three levels (6.69 vs. 6.03 mm2 at the forearm, 9.80 vs. 9.02 mm2 at CTI, and 11.27 vs. 10.12 mm2 at CTO in taller and shorter subjects, respectively). MNCSA was not significantly associated with wrist ratio (WR) or body mass index (BMI). Conclusion The normal MNCSA range in the Iranian population is 6.31 mm2 (forearm) to 10.74 mm2 (CTO). MNCSA is significantly higher in males and taller subjects but is not associated with BMI and WR.
