How to adopt a logical approach to radiological assessment of a painful knee replacement - this approach can then be applied to evaluation of any painful joint replacement. How best to utilise a variety of modalities available in investigating this often complex clinical problem. The summary ofimaging appearancesof two of the commonest causes of a painful knee replacement - septic and aseptic loosening, and their impact on patient outcome. Brief explanation of non-radiological adjuncts to radiological assessment.

Painful knee replacement - incidence, symptoms and signs. X-ray appearances of prosthesis loosening (infective and aseptic) US in assessment of a painful knee replacement - including US guided aspirations. CT protocols for assessment of prosthesis rotatsion - Imperial, Freemantle and Perth protocols. CT and MRI appearances of loosening. Nuclear medicine utilisation in investigation of painful knee replacements. Algorithm for radiological assessment of painful knee replacement
