All patients underwent a clinical examination, synovial fluid analysis, and radiographic assessment of the knee. US examinations were performed in order to detect hyperechoic spots within the hyaline cartilage layer and hyperechoic areas within the meniscal fibrocartilage.

In the 74 patients with CPDD, hyaline cartilage spots were detected by US in at least 1 knee in 44 patients (59.5%), whereas radiography detected hyaline cartilage spots in 34 patients (45.9%) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001).
