Evaluation of Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Knee Joint Injuries in Correlation with Arthroscopy
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Internal derangement of knee is common after injury. In acute stage, clinical examination of painful knee may be difficult and frequently the imaging studies are required to assess the injuries of the menisci, cartilage ligaments or bone. Materials and methods: A prospective study was conducted at the department of orthopedic. A total of 50 patients (50 knees) were examined, 42 patients were males and 11 patients were females, their ages ranging from 16 to 61 years, presented with various knee joint injuries. Results: Our evaluation between these two procedures in knee injuries concludes certain points which are in line with previous studies. Anterior cruciate and medial meniscal injuries more common than the posterior cruciate and lateral meniscal injuries. Description of the type of ACL and PCL tears by MRI helps the orthpaedic surgeon to decide the further course of treatment of either by conservative or definitive reconstruction by arthroscopy. Conclusion: Ligamentous and meniscal injuries occur frequently in patients with trauma to the knee. It is noted that ACL and MM are more commonly torn when compared to PCL and LM. While ACL and medial collateral ligament tears show predilection toward MM tear, lateral collateral ligament tear showed a strong relationship with LM tear.
