Abstract
Knee pain is among the most common complaints that an orthopedic surgeon may see in practice. It is often worked up with X-rays and MRI, leading to a myriad of potential diagnoses ranging from minimal edema patterns to various types of osteonecrosis. Similarities in certain causes can pose diagnostic challenges. The purpose of this review was to present the 3 types of osteonecrosis observed in the knee as well as additional causes to consider to help aid in the diagnosis and treatment..
