Bony Oedema. I think this is very interesting.

I had a MVA pt who had "Diffuse bony oedema of calcaneus, cuboid and cuneiform." (seen by MRI imaging)
What is interesting is the fact that alot of MRIs of knees that identify ACL ruptures also identify bony oedema of femur and tibia (not sure about fibula).
What I am saying, ..............if this is the case that a knee injury may cause this bony oedema could it be that some pain we could not identify clinically or by normal imaging could be related to bony oedema picked up by MRI?
Yes it is hypothetical however what springs to my mind first is the pt's that are classified as having arthritic pain with near perfect joint space in plain film x-rays.
A very long shot......but interesting.
Any experiences with this?
Cheers,
Con
