Abstract

The study aimed to understand the knee condition of patients with knee joint pain who visited an Korean Medicine hospital by performing musculoskeletal ultrasound. From July 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021, information on the gender, age, diagnosis, and ultrasound findings of knee joint pain patients were retrospectively collected. To examine the condition of the knee joint, images were taken in a total of three postures. All images were analyzed by an examiner. 7 cases of osteoarthritis, 1 case of medial collateral ligament rupture, and 1 case of quadriceps tendon calcification were collected. It was able to check the condition of articular cartilage, lipoma arborescens, and the formation of osteophytes through musculoskeletal ultrasound. The implementation of musculoskeletal ultrasound can enable Korean medicine doctors to give more active treatment for patients through accurate and scientific diagnosis. Based on more evidence, it is thought that the use of medical devices by Korean medicine doctors will need to be made in the future.
