ROLE OF MRI EVALUATION & ARTHROSCOPIC CORRELATION IN LIGAMENTOUS INJURIES OF KNEE JOINT
Dr Amit Disawal, Dr Pp Gour, Dr Rashida Nalwala
Abstract :
Background: The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of MRI to predict intraarticular knee pathology have been compared with findings of arthroscopic results in previous studies which show different results. This reflects the rapid changes in the MRI technology, different imaging sequences, radiologist expertise & diagnostic criteria. As a result of this variability, present study is undertaken to correlate between MRI & arthroscopy findings.
Objective: To evaluate the role of MRI in diagnosing and grading traumatic ligamentous injuries of knee & correlate the findings arthroscopically.
Methodology: 50 patients were subjected to 1.5T MR imaging followed by arthroscopy.
Observations: Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of MRI compared to Arthroscopy for complete & partial ACL, PCL, medial meniscal & lateral meniscal tear.
Conclusion: As a noninvasive modality, MR can replace nontherapeutic arthroscopy in evaluation of menisci and cruciate ligaments & should be done in all patients suspected of ligamentous injury preventing unwanted arthroscopies.
