MR imaging of meniscal and cruciate ligament injuries.
MR imaging provides clinically useful information in detecting and characterizing sports-related pathology of the menisci and cruciate ligaments in a noninvasive fashion. Meniscal tears can also be detected and characterized with regard to extent and tear stability with MR imaging. Acute and chronic tears of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments can be accurately identified and evaluated with MR imaging.
