The various operative techniques currently used to repair the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, and the medial collateral ligament are discussed followed by a description of the normal postoperative MR appearance of both the repair and donor sites. Finally, the MR appearance of various complications at both repair and donor sites is described.
