Summary:
Traumatic lesions ofmenisci and ligamentous apparatus of the knee joint were analyzed in a group
of 840 patients (460 men and 380 women). An accompanying damage of soft structures of the knee
jointwas demonstrated in 91% ofmenand 88%ofwomen.Combinations of lesions of medial meniscus
and anterior cruciate ligament, medial meniscus, medial collateral ligament and anterior crucial
ligament, and medial menisci and medial collateral ligament occurred most frequently. Fractures
of skeleton,which remained unnoticed during conventional X-ray examinations,were demonstrated
during MR examination and it became possible to follow the incidence of bone marrow edema. The
evaluation of lesions of the knee soft tissues was in agreement with arthroscopic or surgical
diagnosis in 92% of cases.
Key words:
MR examination of knee joint – injury of knee - combined knee injuries – lesions of
menisci and knee ligaments – bone edema
