Computed tomography of the cruciate ligaments.
Computed tomography was used to delineate the cruciate ligaments of the knee joint in 31 patients. Optimal positioning for demonstrating the length and body of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments is described and the CT, arthrographic, surgical, and clinical findings are correlated. The potential and limitations of CT and its role in combination with double-contrast arthrography in the clinical setting are discussed.
