Chondrocalcinosis Articular Cartilage Calcification |
Procedure: Echography |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Diagnostic, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Single Group Assignment |
Official Title: | Concordance Entre l'échographie du Genou et la Radiographie Standard Dans la détection Des Calcifications Dans le Cadre de la Chondrocalcinose Articulaire |
Estimated Enrollment: | 166 |
Study Start Date: | May 2008 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | May 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Osteo-articular echography is currently recognized as an important development among rheumatologists.
Chondrocalcinosis, which can promote joint inflammation and cartilage degeneration, is highly prevalent in elderly subjects.
Osteo-articular echography is currently reconized as an important development among rheumatologists and can efficiently use to detect Chondrocalcinosis.
The aim of this study is to find a correlation between radiography and echography in detecting CPPD crystal deposition, on a sample of patients and more important with a new generation of ultrasound with a probe superficial performance.
166 patients will be enrolled in this trial and an echography and a radiography of the 2 knees (front and profile) will be done for each patient.
Ih the echography show a calcification, further exams with wrists, hips shoulders echographies will be conducted.
In case of liquid epanchement, analysis of the liquid will be carried in order to eliminate the differential diagnostic including septic arthritis
