2012年11月23日 · We undertook this study to evaluate the MRI characteristics of ACL injuries and the associated findings relative to skeletal maturity of the knee in all patients referred for imaging to a pediatric institution. We also contrast the findings in this younger patient population with those described in the literature in adults.

2024年11月16日 · MRI. Imaging of anterior cruciate ligament tears should be divided into primary and secondary signs. Primary signs are those that pertain to the ligament itself. Secondary signs are those which are closely related to anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Primary signs. swelling. increased signal on T2 or fat-saturated PD. fiber discontinuity

MRI Findings. Because of its ability to depict anatomy in multiple planes and its non-invasiveness, MRI offers distinct advantages over arthroscopy as a means of evaluating the ACL. MRI evaluation is effective in preventing unnecessary arthroscopy by assessing the severity of the ACL tear and coexisting injuries. 4

2025年1月9日 · The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the two cruciate ligaments that stabilize the knee joint. The ACL arises from the anteromedial aspect of the intercondylar area on the tibial plateau and passes upwards and backwards to attach to the posteromedial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle.

2012年11月23日 · MRI findings suggestive of infection include joint effusions and synovitis, osteomyelitis with marrow edema and bony erosions, and soft-tissue manifestations including abscesses and sinus tracts. The graft can also show focal or diffuse increased signal on T2-weighted images; this imaging finding has been attributed to fibrinous exudates on the ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The most effective imaging technique for confirming an ACL tear, showing the extent of the injury and any associated damage to other knee structures. X-rays: Usually done to rule out bone fractures.

2018年8月11日 · Although the diagnosis can be confidently made by physical exam, an MRI is generally accepted as the appropriate test to confirm the presence of an ACL tear. This post takes a more in-depth view on a practical approach to diagnosing an ACL tear on MRI.

2010年4月1日 · Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can diagnose cruciate ligament injuries with high accuracy. The imaging diagnosis should be based on primary signs, although the secondary signs are sometimes useful, particularly in chronic cases.

1992年9月1日 · Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as the study of choice to evaluate the status of the ACL and other associated structures in the knee. Sagittal MR images have been commonly used in the evaluation of the ACL.

Objective: Investigate MRI evidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) healing, patient-reported outcomes and knee laxity in patients with acute ACL rupture managed non-surgically with the Cross Bracing Protocol (CBP).
