CORRELATION BETWEEN MRI AND ARTHROSCOPY IN MENISCAL AND CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURIES

Dr. Hirva Manek, Dr. Chhaya J. Bhatt

Abstract :

Knee is a complex, compound type of synovial joint. Knee joint is supported by menisci and ligaments which are prone to injuries due to direct and twisting injuries to knee joint. The purpose of this study is to establish the accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of meniscal and cruciate ligament injuries and to compare the findings with arthroscopy. A retrospective study was carried out in 30 patients presenting with traumatic knee injury who underwent diagnostic or therapeutic arthroscopy. Our study showed that MRI has high accuracy for diagnosis of meniscal and cruciate ligament injuries, especially when performed after the acute oedema of trauma has subsided. We concluded that MRI being a non–invasive diagnostic method can be used a first line diagnostic modality for traumatic knee injuries and arthroscopy can be reserved for those patients who need a therapeutic repair.
