2025年2月1日 · MRI. MRI allows for the localization of the injury and injury grading. Fibular collateral ligament injuries can be best depicted in coronal and axial views 2. Furthermore, it is the modality of choice for the workup of concomitant ligamentous and meniscal injuries.

2025年2月1日 · Normally, the LCL has a hyperechoic fibrillar pattern, however, the proximal 5-10 mm may normally be hypoechoic 3. MRI. On fluid sensitive sequences, the LCL is intermediate or low signal proximally and low signal distally 3. Related pathology. lateral collateral ligament injury

In this pictorial essay, we use MR imaging to illustrate both the normal structures of the lateral and posterolateral aspects of the knee and the various injury patterns, and we briefly comment on treatment.

2016年10月24日 · A partial tear of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is seen on MR images as inhomogeneous signal intensity within the ligament. The ligament may be thinned or thickened without complete interruption of the fibers, and high-signal-intensity edema around the ligament is typically present (Figs. 4.11 and 4.12 ).

2024年2月11日 · Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) injuries of the knee typically occur due to a sudden varus force to the knee and often present in combination with other ipsilateral ligamentous knee injuries (ie. PLC, ACL). Diagnosis can be suspected with increased varus laxity on physical exam but require MRI for confirmation.

Complex knee specialist Dr. Robert LaPrade discusses how to read an MRI of an FCL (LCL) tear. The FCL (fibular collateral ligament) is also known as the LCL (lateral collateral ligament). In this video Dr. LaPrade identifies how a FCL injury differs from a complete posterolateral corner injury.

Signal intensities of LCL on MRI (low, intermediate, high), echogenicity at ultrasound (hyperechoic, hypoechoic, anechoic), and extent of findings were assessed. Descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed ranked test, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated.

2015年4月1日 · MRI scans in 120 patients without knee instability were evaluated to measure the thicknesses of the LCL and popliteus tendon and estimate the prevalence of signal alteration and abnormal thickening and thinning. We then investigated the factors associated with the thicknesses and abnormal MRI findings.
