Abstract
The knee joint relies on a combination of deep and superficial structures for stability and function. Both ultrasound and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging are extremely useful in evaluating these struc- tures and associated pathology. This article reviews a combination of critical anatomic structures, joint abnormalities, and pathologic conditions at the knee joint, while highlighting the merits, limitations, and pitfalls of the two imaging modalities. A clear appreciation of each method paired with its relative strengths will aid in expediting diagnosis and appropriate treatment for a wide range of knee joint conditions.
