Diagnosis of Arthritis of the Knee |
|
 |
 |
|
The diagnosis of a degenerative knee starts with a complete history and physical examination by your doctor. He will ask about any other medical conditions and surgical conditions. X-rays will be required to determine the extent of the degenerative process and may suggest a cause for the degeneration. Other tests may be required if there is reason to believe that other conditions are contributing to the degenerative process. Blood tests may be required to rule out systemic arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or infection in the knee.
