Magnetic Resonance Imaging Accurately Assesses Knee Injury


Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 05/17/2002 By David Loshak

 Magnetic resonance imaging accurately assesses soft tissue, osseous and neural damage after knee dislocation.

 Early experience with popliteal fossa magnetic resonance angiography was encouraging, report specialists at the Departments of Radiology and Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York.

They found complete agreement between magnetic resonance angiography and conventional angiography among patients in whom both approaches were studied.

 The specialists evaluated magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography in detecting soft tissue, neurovascular and bony injury after multiple ligament knee injury, including knee dislocation.

The specialists found 21 patients (m=15, f=6) aged 14-75 years presenting with reported knee dislocation from May, 1993, to May, 2000 who underwent both magnetic resonance imaging and surgical reconstruction.
