Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Since its introduction in the 1980s, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a staple in the assessment of knee injuries. MRI has significant advantages over plain x-rays and CT scans. MRI enables physicians to see very subtle abnormalities in the soft tissues of the body, including ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. MRI scans are very sensitive to the composition of soft tissues, such as fat, muscle, bone and cartilage, allowing a detailed assessment of most joints. Study was done to assess the diagnostic usefulness of MRI in patients in various cases of knee injuries. Material and Methods: Patient attending OPD or indoor in NSCB medical college hospital, Jabalpur in duration of Sept. 2010 to October 2011. 75 patients with h/o trauma to knee and clinically suspected to have meniscal or ligament tears or any other pathology related to knee joint. Results: In our study we found that with h/o knee injury most common lesion found in symptomatic knee was anterior cruciate ligament tear and followed by medial meniscus tear. Conclusion: In conclusion, MRI is an excellent noninvasive modality in imaging of the knee and a noninvasive replacement for arthrography and non therapeutic arthroscopy.
