Clinics in diagnostic imaging (163)

Abstract: A 14-year-old girl presented with pain and swelling of the left knee after accidentally twisting her knee when walking on level ground. She was subsequently unable to bear weight on her left knee. Physical examination revealed a large knee effusion and limited range of motion. What does the radiograph (Fig. 1) and subsequent magnetic resonance (MR) images (Figs. 2a-c) of the left knee show? What is the diagnosis?

“…The manifestations of the partial MPFL tear were defined as thickening and irregularity of the contour, including discontinuity of normal fibres and intra-ligamentous or extensive peri-ligamentous edema. The manifestations of the complete MPFL tear were defined as fibres in the expected region of the MPFL being completely discontinuous or appearing absent, with extensive surrounding edema (13) .…”

“…The partial or complete disruption of the MPFL was evaluated in three locations: at its patellar insertion (PAT), its mid-substance (MID) and its femoral attachment (FEM), including avulsiontype fracture at PAT or femoral origin. Injuries occurred simultaneously in more than one location of the MPFL were classified as combined injury (13) . This study aimed to evaluate the role of MRI in the detection of predisposing factors that may contribute to the development of patello-femoral instability.…”
