| Abstract | ||
| MRI is used in the settings of investigation of acute knee injury or pain where there is clinical suspicion of internal injury and when fracture. With its ability to detect different pathologies and injuries related to medial knee injuries ;medial meniscus, medial collateral ligament, bones, muscles and soft tissue; MRI imaging is fundamental in the diagnosis of medial knee injury, contributing in revealing different injury type. It gives essential clues and keys related to different knee structures to reach in for a definite diagnosis for the occurring underlying conditions, as well as giving an accurate grading for the underlying injury , thus contributing in better management of the patient and better outcome. Aim The aim of this study is to identify common traumatic pathologies seen in the medial side of the knee and describe their MRI features. Patient and method Patient: This study included 50 patients ( 50 knee joints) presented with traumatic medial knee pain complaint Methods: all patients were subjected to: • Full clinical history • Thorough clinical examination • MRI examination • All patients were scanned using a 1.5T Philips GyroscanAchieva (Best, The Netherlands) closed configuration scanner using a dedicated 8 channels extremity coil. • The patient’s knees were properly positioned in the extremity coil, well supported by foam pads to avoid knee mal-rotation. Patients were examined in supine position with foot first entry. | ||
