Magnetic resonance evaluation of torn menisci and pathologic correlation

  • 1. Tottori Univ., Yonago (Japan). Faculty of Medicine

Description

In 21 patients (25 torn menisci), we retrospectively examined abnormal intensity area around the torn site using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and correlated with histrogical findings. Abnormal high or iso intensity changes were revealed in 21 of 25 torn menisci by MRI. Histologic abnormalities (e.g. mucoid degeneration and cleavage of collagen bundles) correlated well with these intensity changes on MRI. (author)
