The conventional approach to the diagnosis and treatment of severe knee injuries is arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Since arthroscopy is an invasive technique that carries risks, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used for diagnosis. MRI is potentially assoc

We reviewed 30 patients operated on because of acute (n = 14) or chronic (n = 16) rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) with an average follow-up time of 6.9 years. The clinical outcome was expressed using the OAK and the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) evaluation forms.
## Abstract Histopathological studies have suggested that spontaneous degeneration of knee menisci predisposes to symptomatic tears. We used magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to study noninvasively 20 patients with documented meniscal tears in one knee but asymptomatic contralateral knees, 18 normal
**Background**: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an accurate imaging modality of the knee. The role of MR in clinical practice has not been precisely defined, largely due to the relative expense of the technique. **Methods**: For each new patient with a knee problem who was referred for MR, a pr
