Correlation of magnetic resonance imaging findings and arthroscopy findings in diagnosis of intra articular ligament injuries of knee joint

Background: The knee is the largest synovial joint in body with extra and intra articular ligaments which act as supporting structures around joint. of are more commonly injured. An accurate early diagnosis internal derangement necessary for planning treatment. In this study we compare findings magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) arthroscopy evaluate accuracy MRI diagnosing intra-ligament injuries knee. Methods: It a prospective conducted department orthopaedics, Raja Rajeswari medical college hospital, Bangalore from July 2018 to May 2021. Selection criteria include 80 patients who presented history ligamentous injury was obtained selected cases were posted arthroscopic surgery after obtaining informed consent. Arthroscopy correlated statistical data analysis prepared obtain MRI. Results: prepared. ACL tear 100% sensitivity 95% accuracy, PCL shows 97% medial meniscus tears 96.15% 95%, lateral 95.83% 97.50% Conclusions: our has capable detecting anterior horn tears, multiple underneath that may be overlooked arthroscopy. However, appropriate sequences, analysed different planes, newer techniques, powerful tomograms will improve diagnostic reduce errors.
