Abstract
Objectives: Our study was to find the MRI evaluation of cases with sports related knee injuries.
Methods: A detail history and complete assessment were performed to all cases. All patients were examined using a 1.5-T MR (GE HDXT 1.5T MRI System) and dedicated knee coil with sequences.
Results: Data was analyzed by using simple statistical methods with the help of MS-Office software.
Conclusions: Young age groups were commonly associated with sports related knee injuries. More common injury was ACL and combined injuries. Second common injuries were collateral ligaments and meniscus injuries. 100% sensitivity and specificity of MRI was seen in bone, muscles and others knee injuries. Sensitivity and specificity of ACL was 87% and 89% respectively. Hence, MRI is the gold standard investigating modality to diagnose the sports related knee injuries.
Keywords: Knee injury, MRI, Sensitivity, Specificity.
