Introduction: The knee joint is one of the most frequently injured joint due to its vulnerability to external forces and its functional demand. Injury to the ligaments and meniscus affects the stability of the knee joint and normal mechanics, resulting in an unstable knee that impairs the everyday function of an individual. Aim: to evaluate the radiological and arthroscopic findings of the cruciate ligaments and meniscal injuries of knee joint and correlate the findings of the above two diagnostic methods. Method: A prospective study was conducted on the 50 patients with traumatic knee joint referred for MRI to the department of Radiodiagnosis followed by Arthroscopy in period of 2 years (September 2018 to September 2020) KIMS, Bhubaneswar. Results: Out of the 50 patients, 84% were males, 40 (80%) had ACL tears, 3 (6%) had posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears, 21 (42%) had (MM) tears, and 18 (36%) had lateral meniscus (LM) injuries. Conclusion: MRI should be the initial investigation of choice in the evaluation of all cases of knee joint injuries because it can detect both intra and extra articular pathologies and also osseous structures. Based on the findings of MRI, it acts as road map for Arthroscopy for diagnostic as well as therapeutic procedures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
