“…The majority of the patients were male (n=29; 72.5%), whereas only 11 (27.5%) females were included in the study. 8 Moreover, the data shows a high prevalence of the disorder in young males. The work of Naganna et al, 6 justifies these findings.…”

“…On the other hand, beneficial aspects of enhanced resolution, improved signal to noise ratio, initiation of new sequences, shorter imaging times, decreased artefacts, and better accuracy has made MRI more desirable. 8 MRI has changed the invasive approach toward knee pain management. It has replaced the old procedures that were associated with high morbidity.…”

Objective: To assess the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in patients with knee internal derangements. Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Radiology, Combined Military Hospital, Kharian Pakistan, from Sep 2019 Aug 2020. Methodology: 40 patients of any age and gender were part of the study with painful or unstable knee joints. A clinical examination was performed after recording demographic data. In addition, MRI was performed, and primary and secondary signs were noted for each case. Results: The range of patients was 15 to 63, with a mean age of 36.3 ± 12.62 years. Most of the patients were male (n=29; 72.5%), whereas only 11 (27.5%) were females. In total, 27 (67.5%) complete and 13 (32.5%) partial Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears were present. Blumensaat’s angle> 15 degree was present in 10 (37.03%) complete tear cases and 2 (15.38 %) partial tear cases. Anterior tibial displacement was evident in 4 (14.81%) complete tear cases and 3 (23.07 %) partial tear cases. Posterior cruciate line (PCL) angle was apparent in 21 (77.77%) complete tear cases and 12 (92.30 %) partial tear cases. Conclusion: The use of MRI is advocated for diagnosing Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in patients with knee internal derangements.

“…ACL-specific tests, including the Lachman, the anterior drawer, the posterior drawer, and the pivot-shift tests, 6 may not be readily reproducible in a virtual setting; therefore, diagnosing an ACL injury through a virtual examination may not be feasible. In a study of 240 patients, Alshoabi et al found that clinical diagnosis in cases of ACL and medial meniscal lesions was usually significantly divergent from radiographic diagnosis by MRI (kappa = 0.141, p = 0.001) 49 ; therefore, physical examination may be of limited utility in this particular diagnostic setting 50,51 .…”
