Abstract

Abstract Weight-bearing anteroposterior roentgenograms, essential in diagnosing osteoarthritis of the knee, should be a part of routine roentgenographic examination of the arthritic knee. The weight-bearing roentgenograms often show narrowing of the affected joint surface in addition to a varus or valgus deformity when the nonweight-bearing roentgenogram is normal. Also, the weight-bearing film is needed in the follow-up of tibial osteotomy patients.
