Magnetic resonance imaging of reconstructed knee ligaments.
Reconstruction of knee ligaments is now a common orthopedic procedure. Patients are frequently referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after later reinjury, and the ability to recognize normal reconstructed knee ligaments is therefore becoming increasingly important. This pictorial essay demonstrates various reconstructions of the cruciate and the collateral ligaments, as well as several abnormalities of these ligaments.
