The Efficacy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Acute Knee Injuries

Abstract

Equivocal clinical findings in patients with acute knee injury should lead to use of MRI in an appropriate clinical setting. To our knowledge a prospective study of the efficacy of MRI of the knee in this patient population has not been reported. In the presence of such inclusion criteria, the results of our study support the use of early MRI to guide further surgical management.
