Diagnosis

Gross instability as a result of an incompetent medial collateral ligament or posterior cruciate ligament is often easily recognized in the office, but subtle instability in a TKA is often difficult to diagnose because patients are describing a symptom rather than a diagnosis. They may complain primarily of catching, giving way, or anterior knee pain, and these patients often experience recurrent bloody knee effusions which demonstrate a predominance of red blood cells when aspirated [5]. Diagnosis in these subtle cases is difficult and requires a systematic and comprehensive approach to discern the problem as these symptoms can often correspond to alternative pathology in the knee.
