| Popis: | The purpose of the study was to review quantitative and qualitative radiological manifestations of coxarthrosis and gonarthritis in patients aged over 60 years. Radiography, computed tomography and multislice computed tomography were performed for 48 patients aged 60-70 years with deforming arthritis of the hip and knee joints. Idiopathic and dysplastic cases prevailed. The results of the study showed that roentgen anatomical changes in the hip and knee joints were accompanied by changes in the density of femoral head, typical restructuring of the femoral and tibial condyles, patella that could earlier be detected with computed tomography. A decrease in the total density of the femoral and tibial condyles and a relative increase in subchondral density with varus of the knee in particular were shown to be a specific feature of quantitative changes in the density of bone tissue in patients with deforming arthritis. |
