چکیده

oblique tear of the meniscus with an attached fragment displaced away from the donor meniscus (1,2). In order that surgical intervention is appropriate, it is important to visualize the displaced meniscal fragment as well as determine the type of meniscal injury(1,3). Several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings have been used for the diagnosis of bucket-handle tears: (1) the double posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) sign, which indicates a meniscal fragment flipped anterior to the PCL, simulating two ligaments (1,2,4); (2) the flipped meniscus sign, which indicates a fragment flipped anteJ Korean Radiol Soc 1999;41:8 01-8 0 6

Accuracy of MRI in Comparison with Arthroscopic Findings in the Diagnosis of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus Tears

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of great aid in the diagnosis of knee lesions. Nevertheless, arthroscopy has remained the reference standard for the diagnosis of internal derangements of the knee, against which alternative diagnostic modalities should be compared. This study was designed to assess the value of MRI and clinical examination in the diagnosis of Anterior Cruciate Li...

Self-Reduction of Displaced Bucket-Handle Medial Meniscal Tear in a 71-Year-Old Patient

BACKGROUND Bucket-handle meniscal tears are rare in geriatric patients. Displaced bucket-handle meniscal tears are usually treated operatively. Due to the rarity of these tears in elderly patients and conflicting evidence regarding the use of arthroscopy versus conservative treatment, it is valuable to report the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome of these injuries in elderly patient...

مقایسه ارزش تشخیصی آزمون‌های بالینی با یافته‌های آرتروسکوپی در تشخیص ضایعات منیسک‌ها و رباط متقاطع قدامی زانو

Anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) and meniscus injuries are the most common injuries in athletes. History, physical exam, MIR, arthrography and arthroscopy are used to confirm the diagnosis. In the present observational descriptive analytical study, the diagnostic value of clinical test was compared with arthroscopic findings. 68 athletes suspected of meniscus or ACL injuries, were sele...

Free Medial Meniscal Fragment Which Mimics the Dislocated Bucket-Handle Tear on MRI

The bucket-handle meniscal tear is a specific type of meniscal injuries which has specific signs on MRI. An attached fragment displaced away from the meniscus with any type of tear causes bucket-handle tear of the meniscus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most commonly used diagnostic tool for meniscal injuries. We present a case of free medial meniscal fragment which mimics the disloca...

Three-dimensional reconstructed magnetic resonance scans: Accuracy in identifying and defining knee meniscal tears

AIM To determine whether three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is able to accurately detect a meniscal tear, and define the configuration. METHODS Thirty-three patients' 3T MRI scan data were collected and sagittal uni-planar 3D reconstructions performed from the preoperative MRI. There were 24 meniscal tears in 24 patients, and nine controls...
