Fluid distension in the tibial collateral ligament (TCL) bursa on MRI suggests pathology. This finding may indicate TCL bursitis, characterized by medial joint line pain without mechanical symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic imaging
  • Musculoskeletal radiology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • The bursa of the tibial collateral ligament (TCL) can become distended with fluid.
  • Fluid-filled TCL bursa on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging often indicates pathology within the medial capsuloligamentous complex or the bursa itself.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the significance of a fluid-filled TCL bursa visualized on MR imaging.
  • To explore the diagnostic implications of this finding, particularly for TCL bursitis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of seven cases with fluid-filled TCL bursa identified on MR imaging.
  • Clinical correlation of MR findings with patient symptoms and diagnostic outcomes.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A fluid-filled TCL bursa was identified in seven cases.
  • TCL bursitis was suspected in five of these cases.
  • Isolated medial joint line pain without mechanical symptoms was a key clinical indicator.

Conclusions:

  • A distended TCL bursa on MR imaging is a significant finding, often indicative of TCL bursitis.
  • Clinical presentation of isolated medial joint line pain supports the diagnosis.
  • Steroid injection providing prolonged symptom relief further supports the diagnosis of TCL bursitis.
