LIPOHAEMOARTHROSIS OF THE LATERAL POSTERIOR FEMORAL RECESS

Kho J.1, Perry A.2, Beale D.2, James S.L.1, Botchu R.1

One of the common causes of lipohaemarthrosis (LPH) is presence of intra-articular fractures. The imaging features of LPH are typically seen in the suprapatellar pouch of the knee. We report a case of LPH with a three layer fluid-fluid level in the lateral posterior femoral recess of the knee, posterior to the lateral femoral condyle.
