This review covers the history and evolution of knee arthrography, highlighting Magnetic Resonance (MR) arthrography. MR arthrography offers advantages for evaluating postoperative menisci, cartilage, and synovial conditions.

Area of Science:

Radiology
Medical Imaging
Orthopedics

Background:

Conventional knee arthrography has a long history in diagnosing knee joint abnormalities.
Advancements in imaging have led to the development of Magnetic Resonance (MR) arthrography.
MR arthrography provides enhanced visualization of intra-articular structures.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a historical overview of knee arthrography techniques.
To detail the principles and applications of direct and indirect MR arthrography of the knee.
To discuss the advantages of MR arthrography in specific clinical scenarios.

Main Methods:

Review of historical literature on conventional knee arthrography.
Description of direct and indirect MR arthrography techniques.

Discussion of radiologic findings in MR arthrography of the knee.

Main Results:

MR arthrography demonstrates superior detail for evaluating the postoperative meniscus.
Articular cartilage abnormalities are effectively assessed using MR arthrography.
Synovial-based processes are clearly visualized with MR arthrography.

Conclusions:

MR arthrography represents a significant advancement over conventional techniques for knee imaging.
It offers crucial insights into complex knee pathologies, particularly post-surgical changes.
MR arthrography is valuable for assessing meniscal, cartilaginous, and synovial disorders.
