Magnetic resonance imaging of meniscal and cruciate injuries of the knee

We investigated 133 knees with suspected meniscal or cruciate injuries by magnetic resonance imaging, and compared the findings with those at arthroscopy. MRI was found to be highly sensitive, specific and accurate in the evaluation of the menisci and the anterior cruciate ligament.
