Abstract

Numerous anatomical variants are described around the knee, many of which look like bony lesions, so it is important to know them to avoid unnecessary complementary tests and inadequate management. Likewise, several alterations in relation to normal development can also simulate bone lesions. However, numerous pathologic processes frequently affect the knee, including traumatic, inflammatory, infectious, and tumor pathology. Many of these entities show typical radiologic features that facilitate their diagnosis. In other cases, a correct differential diagnosis is necessary for proper clinical management. Despite the availability of increasingly advanced imaging techniques, plain radiography is still the technique of choice in the initial study of many of these pathologies. This article reviews the radiologic characteristics of tumor and nontumor lesions that may appear around the knee to make a correct diagnosis and avoid unnecessary complementary radiologic examinations and inadequate clinical management.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Seminars In Musculoskeletal Radiology, and although the journal is classified in the quartile Q4 (Agencia WoS (JCR)), its regional focus and specialization in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging, give it significant recognition in a specific niche of scientific knowledge at an international level.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-16:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 12.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 11 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.85.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 2 (Altmetric).
