ABSTRACT

Aim: Magnetic Resonance Imaging based evaluation of patients with knee trauma. Objective: To define the spectrum of findings in patients with knee trauma and correlate the findings with the mode of injury. To segregate the findings of various structures involved in knee injury and correlate with different mode of injuries. Material and methods: This study was carried out in Department of Radiodiagnosis , Dr. R.P.G.M.C. Kangra at Tanda, Himachal Pradesh, after approval by institutional ethics committee. The present study was conducted on patients referred to department of radio-diagnosis from department of orthopaedics for MRI evaluation of knee trauma. Results: The study was done among 91 patients with knee injuries. Maximum of the study participants had injury associated with hyperextension and Anterior cruciate ligament involved, the study also found that grade III medial meniscus injury on the posterior horn is common among the patients with knee trauma.
