| Abstract | Background :–Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has now been accepted as the best imaging modality for non-invasive evaluation of knee injuries and most widely used diagnostic modalities to assess the joint injury. Complete evaluation of all the internal structures of the knee was not possible with other modalities like conventional radiography, arthrography, ultrasonography and computed tomography. Objectives:-1). Study of the spectrum of MRI findings in all consecutive cases of knee trauma referred from orthopedic OPD and INDOOR of RIMS. 2). Grading of the various ligamentous and meniscal injuries on the basis of laid down criteria. 3). Comparison of findings of magnetic resonance imaging with surgical findings in selected cases. Material and Methods:All cases referred from Orthopedic/Surgury department of Rajendra institute of medical sciences(RIMS) Ranchi for evaluation of traumatic knee. Duration of study is one year from November 2016November 2017 having sample size of one hundred eleven(111) cases. Results:-In our study joint effusions were the most common finding affecting 89 patients (80.5%). Among the ligamentous and meniscal injuries, ACL tear is most common, in 89 patients (68.5%), to be followed by the Medial Meniscal injuries seen in 33 patients (29.7%) with grade 3 type injury being commonest. Conclusion:-MRI is an excellent, noninvasive, radiation free imaging modality with multiplane capabilities and excellent soft tissue delineation. It can accurately detect, localize and characterize various internal derangements of the knee joint and help in arriving at a correct anatomical diagnosis thereby guiding further management of the patient. |
