“…The horizontal tear (12%) was commonest, followed by a complex tear (11%), bucket handle tear (7%), radial tear (3%), and longitudinal tear (2%) in the medial meniscus. (15,16) In study by Jarvick et al, (16) the commonest type of tear in the lateral meniscus was a horizontal tear (42.3%), followed by a complex tear (26.9%), longitudinal tear (15.5%), vertical radial tear (11.5%), and oblique tear (3.8%). A similar meniscal injury pattern observed in the present study was comparable to the study of Drapé et al, (11) in which the most common meniscal injury is the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.…”

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently regarded as the reference standard for the diagnosis and evaluation of internal derangements of the knee and shoulder girdle. This study aimed to evaluate traumatic injuries of the knee and shoulder joint ligaments by MRI and classify the most common ligament injuries. Methods and Results: This study included 50 patients, who were presented in the Radiology Department of Modern Medical Center in Khartoum, in the period from October 2019 to January 2020. The sample was divided into two groups: shoulder joint group (Group 1, n=30) with an age range between 16 and 74 years and knee joint group (Group 2, n=20) with an age range between 16 and 77 years. The age group most affected with shoulder (46.7%) and knee joint (25%) injuries was 46-65 years. The injuries of the shoulder (40%) and knee joints (55%) were common in patients with body weight ranging from 71-80kg and >81kg, respectively. Different grades of partial meniscus tear of both shoulder and knee joints were noted as Grades 1 and 2 in 8.7% of cases, Grade 2 - 13%, Grades 2 and 3 - 34.8%, and Grade 3 - 30.4%. There were incidences of 27.3%, 0%, 54.5%, 15.20, 0%, and 3% for anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial meniscus C-shape (M Me C), lateral meniscus C-shape (L Me C), MCL, and LCL tears in the knee joints of the affected patients. Conclusion: MRI revealed that injuries to the shoulder and knee joints were common in patients with body weight ranging from 71-80kg and >81kg, respectively. Different grades of partial meniscus tear of the shoulder and knee joints were noted though Grades 2 and 3 partial tears were the most common finding. Finally, it was noted that in the knee joints of the affected patients, the M Me C shaped tear was the major type of tear.

“…The biomechanical forces that result in the ACL tear also result in medial meniscal tear. 9 Because of multiple tear the sensitivity of the medial meniscal tear is reduced. Due to presence of multiple tears one peripherally located meniscal tear was over looked on MRI in two patients.…”

Background: The knee is a major weight bearing joint that provides mobility and stability during physical activity as well as balance while standing. Traumatic knee injuries are frequently encountered both in general practice and in the hospital setting. These injuries are often caused by sports activities and may lead to severe pain and disability. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with its multi-planar capabilities and excellent soft tissue contrast, has established itself as the leading modality for noninvasive evaluation of the sports related knee injuries. Materials and methods: A prospective study was conducted at the department of radiology in BLDE (DU), Shri B M Patil Medical College & RC during the period February 2020 to February 2022. 100 patients (100 knees) were examined, 84 patients were males and 22 patients were females their ages ranging from (16-61) years, presented with various knee joint injuries and were referred from Orthopedics Department BLDE (DU), Shri B M Patil Medical College & RC, Vijayapur, Karnataka. Results: In our study MRI examination was performed on (100) patients with complaints of knee injury.
