Objectives: Describe some routine X-ray imaging characteristics of the patients. primary knee osteoarthritis. Method: The patient was X-rayed of the knee joint in both posteroanterior lateral and view with a standing position with weight bearing. The degree of osteoarthritis was assessed according to the Kellgren-Lawrence criteria, describing the damage according to the OARSI scale. Results: Bone spurs were present in all patients. Joint space, subchondral bone thickening and bone head deformity accounted for 82.6%, 76.1% and 60.9%, respectively. The grade II degenerative group has a score of 1.5-2 according to OARSI, while for the group with grade III degeneration, the score is from 2.2-2.7. Conclusion: Despite the widespread use of joint ultrasonography and magnetic resonance tomography in clinical practice, conventional radiography of the knee remains the "gold" standard in the contemporary assessment of osteoarthritic knee.
