Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bilateral weight-bearing knee radiographs are the initial recommended radiographic procedure for patients with bilateral knee pain and no history of injury. This allows for the evaluation of the entire joint, both in terms of bony structures and joint spaces. CT or MRI may be useful if further evaluation is warranted based on the findings of the radiographs. Arthrography, which involves injection of contrast material into the joint space, is rarely used as an initial diagnostic tool.
