Abstract:
Meniscal injuries are common. Magnetic resonance imaging is considered the imaging modality of choice in diagnosing meniscal pathologic conditions in the nonoperative knee. Meniscal-preserving surgery is becoming more frequent, with a resultant increase in postoperative meniscal imaging, which is particularly challenging for the reporting radiologist. This article provides a review of the anatomy, pathologic conditions, and diagnostic pitfalls of meniscal injury, with a synopsis of the issues faced with postoperative meniscal imaging.
