Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of an irreducible knee dislocation can help physicians evaluate associated bone and ligamentous lesions. However, caution should be taken when interpreting the images because the capsuloligamentous interposition seen in irreducible knee dislocations may be misdiagnosed as a meniscal lesion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
