Another common area of confusion after visiting a surgeon is the knee x-ray.
When the doctor is pointing out the signs of arthritis most people just nod their head and say "oh yes, I can see it" when really they have no idea.
Here is a little help.
Two articles on knee x-rays, one on the normal knee for those with no arthritis (read this one first so you have something to compare)
And one one the signs of arthritis.
Both have simple descriptions and examples of the different views used to assess the arthritic knee
Next time you will be able to honestly say you can see the signs of osteoarthritis.
