SPECT/CT in the Postoperative Painful Knee
This review summarizes the role of SPECT/CT in patients with a painful postoperative knee and describes typical diagnostic criteria in these patients. Pain after knee surgery is common and is influenced by the underlying pathology, the type of surgery, and the patient. Knee joint-preserving surgery includes osteotomy, ligament reconstruction, meniscus surgery, and cartilage repair procedures, often used in combination. Knee arthroplasty procedures consist of unicondylar, patellofemoral, and primary or revision total knee prosthesis.
