Clinical evaluation of MRI findings in chronic painful knee joint

Abstract

Background: Any disruption of the intra-articular structures of the tri-compartmental knee joint or even extra-articular pathologies related to quadriceps mechanism and synovium can cause painful knee resulting in functional morbidity and disability. To ascertain and manage the root cause various modalities are available today. Magnetic Resonating Imaging (MRI) is an effective and non-invasive imaging modality in diagnosing and classifying the knee pathology. Methods: The present study was a non-randomized prospective study conducted in the
