Objective:
To explore the method of displaying the bone and joint structures transfixed with stainless steel lag screws using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 2 patients whose knee joints (and ankle joint in one case) were transfixed with stainless steel underwent MRI with FSE-XL pulse sequence. The images clearly displayed the bones, ligaments and articular cartilage around the stainless steel materials, demonstrating the efficacy of FSE-XL pulse sequence in evaluation of the anatomical features of the bones and joints transfixed with stainless steel materials.
