Abstract :

The knee is one of the most frequently injured joint in the body. The stability of the knee joint owes greatly to the presence of its ligaments and menisci.  MRI has emerged as a primary imaging tool in assessment of meniscal and ligament injuries. It can show both internal external meniscal abnormalities.A prospective cross–sectional case study was done on 75 patients including both sexes in all age groups, with h/o trauma to knee & clinically suspected to have meniscal or ligament tears were studied. In our study Anterior cruciate ligament tear was the commonest lesion detected and Medial meniscus tear was more common than lateral meniscal tear.The collateral ligaments were sprained in the majority of the cases and were always associated with cruciate ligament injury,MRI is excellent non invasive modality in imaging of knee and noninvasive replacement for arthrography and non therapeutic arthroscopy.
