In order to solve the problem of observing and analyzing the clinical value of MRI diagnosis in patients with knee sports injury and guiding clinical targeted treatment, the author proposed a sports injury prevention method in sports training teaching based on MRI image observation. This method retrospectively analyzed the imaging data of 101 patients with knee joint MRI examination due to osteoarthritis, sports injury and synovitis in joint surgery, and arthroscopic exclusion of true meniscus tear, MR multisequence and multiplane scans were performed to observe the anatomical features of TGL and MFL images and the occurrence rate of the lateral meniscus “false tear sign,” and the χ 2 test was used to compare the occurrence rate of “pseudo-tear sign” between genders and sides. Experimental results show that the incidence of TGL on MRI was about 67.3% (68/101), and the incidence of “pseudo-tear sign” in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus caused by TGL was 2.9% (2/68). The overall appearance rate of MFL on MRI was 91.1% (92/101), the appearance rate of plate anterior ligament (HL) was 13.9% (14/101), and the occurrence rate of “pseudo-tear sign” in the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus caused by HL was 7.1% (1/14). The occurrence rate of the posterior ligament (WL) was 77.2% (78/101), and the incidence of “pseudo-tear sign” in the posterior horn was 20.5% (16/78). According to the shape and course of TGL and MFL on MRI, and the direction and position of the lateral meniscus pseudotear, combined with MRI sagittal plane and coronal plane observation, it can effectively identify the true and false attributes of lateral meniscus anterior and posterior horn tears, thereby reducing unnecessary surgical treatment.
