She is 75 years old. She is 63 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds. She has a BMI of 21.3, blood pressure is 120/70. Exceedingly healthy individual. She apparently fell while in Washington, D.C. in May. Had bilateral ankle fractures. Had surgical fixation on the left, wore a cast on the right side and was followed by Sarah Dewitt. She recovered without any significant sequelae. She came back to see me on 08/02 complaining of several days of severe bilateral knee pain that was incapacitating. She had no other joint complaints. There were no myalgias. Her review of systems otherwise unremarkable with no other infectious or inflammatory process.
On examination, both knees were stable joints. The right did have more of an effusion
