Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 20
Abstract
BACKGROUND MRI use for primary diagnosis of traumatic knee intra-articular lesion. The purpose of this investigation was to correlate MR and arthroscopic findings in a setup of knee injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive study of 111 patients who underwent MRI for the diagnosis of soft tissue injury in knee over a period of last 2 years in GMC Hospital, Nagpur. A combination of T1- and T2-weighted sequences is most commonly used. RESULTS Commonest lesion detected in our study was ACL tear followed by meniscal tear. These lesions were further collaborated with arthroscopic finding and further treatment was done in GMC Hospital, Nagpur. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value was calculated of MRI with respect to Arthroscopy. CONCLUSION MRI knee in case of cruciate ligament tear is a definite indicator for diagnostic arthroscopy followed by subsequent arthroscopic reconstruction surgery. Whereas in suspected meniscal injury, it is advisable to undergo an arthroscopic confirmation after an MRI evaluation.
