Objective:
We describe the MRI appearance of five cases of chondral delamination of the knee.
Conclusion:
Chondral delamination injuries of the knee show increased linear signal abnormality at the junction of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone on T2-weighted (fast spin-echo) images of the knee. Identifying and treating these lesions results in an improved prognosis for patients with this injury.
