Accuracy of nonorthogonal MR imaging in acute disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament
Creators
Description
This paper reports on a prospective study of 120 patients with suspected acute internal derangement of the knee undertaken to compare orthogonal, sagittal, T1-weighted MR imaging with nonorthogonal (oblique), sagittal, T2-weighted MR imaging in the evaluation of injuries of the anterior cruciated ligament (ACL). When an unidentified ACL (13%) was regarded as presenting a complete ACL disruption, orthogonal and nonorthogonal MR imaging had sensitivities of 70.5% and 100% specificities of 94.2% and 100%, accuracies of 87.1% and 100% positive predictive values of 80% and 100% and negative predictive values of 81.5% and 100%, respectively
