MRI of Knee joint in detecting internal derangements with Arthroscopic correlation.
Dr Nilesh Gupta, Dr Pawan Shaw
Abstract :
Background: Knee is a complex condylar joint of the body consisting of complex articulations of femur and tibia and patella.
Objective: to observe the role of MRI in detecting internal injuries mainly involvements of ACL, PCL and Meniscii, which were subsequently correlated by arthroscopy
Methodology: We did prospective studied 100 patients with history of knee injury and presented with pain / instability/locking/giving away sensation of age between 16–60 years over a period of 1 years starting from 2015 to 2016.
Results:
A total 100 patients taken under study, 80 had ACL tear on MRI out of which 75 showed similar results on arthroscopy. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for MRI for ACL came out to be 100%, 66% and 95% respectively. Similarly for PCL tear on MRI examination the sensitivity of 50%, specificity of 90% and accuracy of 98%. Also, MM injury in 45% patients while 32% had positive result arthroscopically. 29% patients showed MRI positivity for LM injury out of which 26% were positive arthroscopically. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for MRI for medial meniscal injury was found to be 68%, 82% and 73% and that for lateral meniscal injury was found to have 83%, 89% and 88%.
Conclusion: MRI has high accuracy in diagnosing ligamentous and meniscal injuries. It can be used as a screening tool before arthroscopic examination and treatment planning.
