Abstract
Background: The knee joint is complicated, having a multitude of components, and any of the signs or
symptoms of a knee injury might be caused by any of them. The greatest signicant improvements in
knee joint imaging were accomplished during the reign of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It has replaced conventional
arthrography in the assessment of the menisci and cruciate ligaments, reducing both the morbidity and cost associated with
arthroscopic examinations that provide negative results. The present study was performed on MRI Aim: for evaluation of
ligamentous knee injuries. This research was performed in 100 subjects, who has come to depart Material: ment of
radiodiagnosis with suspected ligamentous injuries to the knee. The ndings obtained in our Results: study showed that medial
meniscal tears/degeneration (64%) followed by anterior cruciate ligament tear (49%) were the most frequently found pathology
of all subjects. Magnetic resonance imaging is highly sensitive, precise and accurate method of imag Conclusion: ing modality
in the identication of posterior cruciate ligament and full length anterior cruciate ligament tears; however, it has no adequate
sensitivity in the detection of partial anterior cruciate tears.
