INTRODUCTION The knee joint is one of the
important weight-bearing joints of the human body
Complex and extensive movements are performed , involving numerous active and passive mechanisms.
Knee is more l ikely to be damaged than most other joints because it is subject to tremendous forces during vigorous activity.
Therefore not surprising that the knee is frequently aff ected by traumatic and degenerative condit ions

PROTOCOL Field of view (FOV) --small 10
to 14 cm
A matrix of 256 x 256 is usually standard.
Dedicated knee coil is mandatory as it improves the signal to noise ratio

Patient Positioning Supine, with the leg in full extension. The knee is placed in 10 to 15° of external
rotation(esp for sagittal image)
Slice Thickness 3-4 mm sections are used for axial, coronal
and sagittal images of the knee. Adults: 4mm Children's: 3mm 3DFT(Fourier Transformation) Sub
centimeter

Imaging Planes and Pulse Sequences
Short echo time (TE) conventional spin echo (CSE) images generally provide the best contrast for anatomical evaluation
Proton-density images are probably the most sensitive for detection of meniscal tears.
FSE T2-weighted images have demonstrated high accuracy for detection of cartilage lesions.
3D Fourier transformation (3DFT) Imaging is becoming popular
-provides the highest resolution -with an acceptable S/N ratio -allowing image reconstruction in any
plane.

General anatomy Knee is the largest and more complex joint of the
body Complexity is the result of fusion of three joint - lateral t ib iofemoral jo int - medial t ib iofemoral jo int
- femoropatel lar jo int It is a compound synovial joint ,incorporating two
condylar joints between condyles of femur and tibia and one saddle joint between femur and patella.
ARTICULAR SURFACEFormed by – condyles of femur , patella and
condyles of tibia

Menisci: The menisci of the knee are two
semilunar, C-shaped fi brocart i laginous disks that s i t on the per ipheral margins of t ib ia l p lateau
Upper surfaces of both menisci are concave, and they art iculate with the convex femoral condyles.
Each meniscus has two ends which are attached to t ib ia, and two borders
![Page 24: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
(a)The outer border is thick , convex and fi xed to the fi brous capsule
(b) Inner border is thin concave and free.
Micro-anatomy: Type 1 Collagen

![Page 25: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
They measure ~3 to 5 mm in height at the periphery ~1 mm or less at the free edge.
![Page 26: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
MEDIAL MENISCUS
Medial meniscus is shaped more l ike a half-c irc le.(open “C”)
The width of the medial meniscus, in contrast to the lateral meniscus, gradual ly tapers from posterior(12mm) to anterior(6mm)
Peripheral margin of the medial meniscus is more fi rmly attached to the t ibial col lateral l igament.
![Page 27: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
MRI APPEARANCEANTERIOR & POSTERIOR HORNS- Best demonstrated on sagittal viewBODY of meniscus- Best seen on coronal images
![Page 28: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Lateral meniscus
The lateral meniscus has the same width throughout, approximately 10 mm
Peripheral margin of the lateral meniscus is attached to the capsule except poster lateral , where the popl iteal tendon crosses it , and more posteriorly and central ly near the central attachment site, where the capsule does not extend anteriorly into the joint.
![Page 29: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Anterior horn of lateral meniscus
The anterior and posterior horns of the lateral meniscus are about equal in size
Anterosuperiorly transverse l igament is attached to it .
![Page 30: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Posterior horn of lateral meniscus
It differs from medial meniscus
its attachment to the capsule is interrupted by the popliteal tendon,
Superiorly it gives origin to ligament of wrisberg ( meniscofemoral ligament) which appear as round dot adjacent to superior aspect of the posterior horn
![Page 31: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Discoid Meniscus
A discoid meniscus refers to a meniscus, almost always the lateral one, that is not C-shaped but disklike.
it covers most of the tibial plateau to varying degrees rather than just its periphery.
is usually seen in children and adolescents, in whom it may be asymptomatic and noted incidentally.
It is prone to tearing The prevalence of discoid lateral
meniscus (1.5%-15.5%) is greater than that of discoid medial meniscus
![Page 32: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
High-resolution coronal images allow better depiction of this enlarged meniscus.
A discoid meniscus is said to be present if three or more 5mm-thick contiguous sagittal images demonstrated continuity of the meniscus between the anterior and posterior horns.
Another criteria was height difference of 2mm on coronal image.
![Page 33: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Pitfalls…
The posterior horns are seen on coronal views as flat bands that should not be confused with discoid menisci
![Page 35: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
NORMAL VARIATIONS AND PITFALLS 1. Wrisberg and Humphry Ligaments: The meniscofemoral ligaments of Wrisberg and Humphry originate from the superior aspect of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus.
The Wrisberg ligament is located posterior to the posterior cruciate ligament and seen in 33% sagittal image.
The Humphry ligament is anterior to the posterior cruciate ligament

Popliteus Tendon
Popliteus tendon and its hiatus separate the lateral meniscus from the joint capsule.
Signal intensity from the popl iteus tendon sheath or fl uid within its hiatus could be mistaken for a meniscal tear on both sagittal and coronal images
![Page 38: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Transverse Ligament
Connects the anterior horns of both menisci
The signal intensity produced from the loose connective t issue between the transverse l igament and the most medial part of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus can be mistaken for a meniscal tear.
This error can be avoided by tracing the cross-section of the l igament through the infrapatel lar fat pad on more central MR imaging sections

Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Anatomy extends from its semicircular attachment at the lateral femoral condyle to the
anterior intercondylar region of the tibia. It is just posterior to the transverse
ligament and just anterior to the central attachment of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus where some fibers mix.
The tibial attachment is larger than the femoral and fanlike in shape.
![Page 43: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

ligament measures approximately 4 X 1 cm
may consist of two or more distinct bundles separated by loose connective tissue and fat, more prominent at the mid- and distal portions.
![Page 45: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
MRI Appearance
ACL is best seen on sagittal oblique images with slices parallel to the cortex of the lateral femoral condyle.
ACL may appear as a solid low-signal-intensity band
![Page 46: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Coronal image
ACL as a c fanlike structure adjacent to the horizontal segment of the PCL near the medial surface of the lateral femoral condyle
Proximally, the signal intensity is uniformly low, whereas distally it may be slightly increased.
![Page 47: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
ACL: Origin to insertion
![Page 48: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Posterior Cruciate Ligament Anatomy The PCL arises at the lateral surface of the medial
femoral condyle and extends to the posterior surface of the intercondylar region below the level of articular surface of tibia.
It is wider and thicker than the ACL. Sagittal images best show the PCL; it appears as a
uniformly low-signal-intensity structure and arcuate in shape in routine MR imaging
It has a nearly horizontal takeoff at the femoral origin and then an abrupt descent at about 45 degrees to the tibia.
![Page 49: MRI KNEE JOINT ANATOMY](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012318/55d24242bb61eb0c428b4671/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
