Background: Within a decade of its clinical introduction, Magnetic Resonance Imaging became the imaging test of choice for ligament pathologies in knee. Present study was aimed to study type and grade of the ligament injuries following knee trauma, with the help of appearances on MRI study. Material and Methods: Present study was single-center, prospective, observational study, conducted in patients referred with clinically suspected internal derangement of knee following trauma to knee, underwent MRI study at our hospital. Results: In present study 97 patients satisfying study criteria were included. Majority were from 21-30 years age group (31.96 %) followed by 31-40 years age group (23.71 %). Male (61.85 %) outnumbered female (38.15 %). Joint effusion was present in 57 cases (58.76 %). In present study ACL tear was noted in 36 patients (37.11 %), majority had complete ACL tear (72.22 %). PCL tear was noted in 3 patients (66.67 %), majority had partial PCL tear (66.67 %).In present study MCL tear was noted in 25 patients (25.77 %), majority had grade I tear (64 %). LCL tear was noted in 10 patients (10.3 %), majority had grade I tear (60 %). MM tear was noted in 58 patients (59.79 %), majority had grade III tear (51.73 %).LM tear was noted in 10 patients (10.3 %), majority had grade II/III tear (40 %).In present study osseous or other injuries were noted in 48 patients (49.48 %). Arthroscopy was done in 23 patients (23.71 %). MRI Arthroscopy correlation was noted in 19 patients out of 23 patients (82.60 %). Conclusion: MRI is valuable diagnostic tool for evaluation of pathology of knee joint and is recommended investigation to make decision for further management of patient. |
