MRI As A Diagnostic Tool In Evaluating Internal Derangements of Knee As Compared to Arthroscopy

Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12

Abstract

Knee joint is the largest and the most complex joint in the body and also the most frequently injured joint due to its anatomy. The stability of the joint is highly dependent on its supporting ligamentous structures. Injuries of the ligaments and the menisci are extremely common. Injury to the knee joint is a significant cause of morbidity in both young and old individuals. As our institution is a tertiary centre, the cases from the primary centers are referred. An accurate diagnosis regarding the involvement of structures and the extent of injuries is essential for early operative as well as non-operative treatment. This requires an accurate clinical history, a thorough physical examination and complementary diagnostic tools.
