Role of Mri in Internal Derangement of Knee Joint in Correlation With Arthroscopy

Abstract

BACKGROUNDTrauma to knee joint is a significant cause of morbidity in the young, active individuals, especially amongst sports persons, trained soldiers and athletes. The most widely used diagnostic modalities to assess the joint injury are Arthroscopy and MRI. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has now been accepted as the best imaging modality for non-invasive evaluation of knee injuries.Aim -This study was undertaken to study the types and incidence of ligament injuries in traumatic knee joint by MR imaging and to compare with Arthroscopy findings.
