Frondlike Synovitis on MRI and Correlation With Polyethylene Surface Damage of Total Knee Arthroplasty

摘要

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to determine the association between polyethylene surface damage and the severity of frondlike hypertrophied synovitis, joint distention, capsular thickness, and osteolysis on MRI compared with other patient factors. Another goal of this study is to ascertain the interobserver reliability in MRI evaluation of synovitis.
