Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in diagnosing ligament injury of the knee.Methods MRI manifestations of ligament injury of the knee confirmed by operation or joint-screen examination in 32 cases were retrospectively analyzed. All cases underwent routine MR scanning. The cases with suspicious anterior cruciate ligament injury undenwent oblique saqittal section fast spin echo-T_2 weight (FSE-T_2WI )and the cases with suspicious medical accessory ligament injury underwent coronal section fat suppressed-fast spin echo-T_2 weight(FS-FSE-T_2W).Results 36 ligaments were found having injury in all cases, including 16 anterior cruciare ligaments, 14 posterior cruciate ligaments, 5 medical accessory ligaments and 1 lateral accessory ligament. The ligaments injuries included tear completely and part.Conclusion MRI is the ideal non-invasive method for studying ligament injury of the knee.
