Abstract
With the ever-increasing number of total knee replacement, the demand for early diagnosis of post arthroplasty complications has increased as well. The various complications associated with total knee replacement include bursitis, tendinitis, periprosthetic fracture, infection, instability, malalignment, loosening, prosthesis fracture, osteolysis, soft tissue impingement, and extensor mechanism problems. Radiographs and nuclear imaging, earlier the mainstays for evaluation of post arthroplasty knee, have vast limitations, especially in evaluating the soft tissue details which account for the symptoms in a significant number of patients. Magnetic resonance with special modifications, i.e. metal artifact reduction sequences, is of immense help in a detailed evaluation of these soft tissue complications and is advisable in all patients where the cause cannot be determined on plain radiographs.
