Increased cortical density in popliteal lymphadenopathy as a promising radiological sign to help differentiate adverse local tissue reaction from infections in complications following a knee arthroplasty—three case reports
The presence and characteristics of PLN may serve as a valuable imaging biomarker for diagnosing and differentiating knee prosthesis complications. CT evaluation of PLNs could enhance diagnostic accuracy, particularly in distinguishing between PJI and ALTR, prompting further research to validate these findings and explore their diagnostic potential.
