The knee joint is a hinge joint. It has ligamentous and meniscal structures which play an important role in the stability and mobility. Menisci form a cushion and the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are important stabilizers of the knee joint.Menisci and cruciate ligaments have slightly different properties and complement each other in function. Study objectives were to describe the MRI appearance of the menisci in their injured state and to describe the MRI appearance of the ligaments in their injured state. Material and methods: Our study included 100 patients in the age range of 11-60 years who were referred to the Department of Radiology for MRI following injury to the knee. This was a retrospective study and was done over a period of 14 months between May 2018 to June 2019. A detailed history, clinical, and local examination was carried out in all the patients prior to doing the MRI.MRI was carried out on 1.5 Tesla machine and the standard protocol consisted of: Fat-suppressed PD (TE 45, TR 2800) in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes. T2W (TE 80, TR 4000) in sagittal plane. T1W (TE 11, TR 495) in sagittal plane. Results: In our study, the commonest injury was found to be anterior cruciate ligament injury and tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus. In most of the injuries, there was associated joint effusion and bone contusion. Detailed history, clinical, and local examination of the patient was also helpful in this study. Conclusions: MRI is a useful non-invasive modality having high diagnostic accuracy making it a very reliable screening test for diagnosing menisci and ligament injuries of knee joint.
