Intra-articular regional migratory osteoporosis of the knee

Skeletal Radiol. 2000 Feb;29(2):97-100. doi: 10.1007/s002560050018.

Abstract

We report a case of intra-articular regional migratory osteoporosis of the knee in a 53-year-old man. The case demonstrates an unusual pattern of migration of the marrow edema within the knee joint. This phenomenon has received scant attention in the radiological literature.
