Abstract
Unlike primary osteoarthritis (OA), post-traumatic OA of the knee commonly develops after knee injuries or tends to progress more rapidly. This chapter gives an overview of the radiological findings in post-traumatic OA and treatment options with special focus on SPECT/CT aspects of this pathology and the differences between primary OA and post-traumatic OA.
