Abstract

Cruciate Injury Knee Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) Ligament Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) Medial collateral ligament (MCL) Posterolateral corner Posteromedial corner Radiology
Radiologic imaging has proven invaluable in confirming clinically suspected pathology, discovering coexistent or unsuspected pathology, and providing a road map for surgical planning. MRI is especially useful for evaluating large and small blending musculotendinous stabilizers in patients with complex injuries or difficult clinical exams. The intent of this article is to review the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of the normal musculotendinous anatomy and the appearance of injury.
