Magnetic resonance imaging of impingement and friction syndromes around the knee

Imran Khan et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2020 Jun.

Abstract

The knee is a complex joint with its function dependent on a combination of osseous and soft tissue structures. Alteration in the relationship of these tissues, due to either acute or chronic repetitive injury with possible underlying congenital predisposing factors, can result in impingement between the structures resulting in pain, particularly on activity. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the MRI features of various impingement syndromes around the knee.

Keywords: Friction syndromes; Impingement; Knee; MRI.
