Magnetic resonance imaging of the meniscus
Abstract
The treatment of meniscal tears has evolved secondary to a better understanding of the essential roles that the menisci play in the normal function of the knee, including load transmission, stress distribution, shock absorption, joint lubrication, resistance to capsular and synovial impingement, and maintenance of joint congruity. Imaging evaluation of the menisci requires an understanding of the normal anatomy, the imaging criteria necessary to accurately diagnose a meniscal tear, meniscal tear patterns, and awareness of common diagnostic pitfalls.
