title: The pediatric knee.
abstract: MR imaging has become an indispensable tool in the evaluation of knee disorders. It is now widely relied on by clinicians, especially orthopedic surgeons, for guiding arthroscopic procedures and for staging tumor prior to resection. MR imaging has proved so successful that it has largely replaced arthrography in the evaluation of knee problems.
