The studied cases were divided into two groups: Group (A) had hypothyroidism and Group (B) had hyperthyroidism in 70.0% and 22.0% of cases, respectively. The present study showed that, with regard to knee examinations within the whole group, 52% had abnormal findings. The most abnormal finding was knee pain by 52%, and the least abnormal finding was enthisitis by 8%. Conclusion; Both hypothyroid and hyperthyroid states were associated with MSUS abnormalities and knee arthralgia.
