Abstract

Sports knee injury is a very common condition that is frequently encountered both in general practice and in the hospital setting.
Sports knee injuries represent one of the problems facing athletes which my change their life style and the early diagnosis is of a great value in the treatment of these injuries
MRI can improve the diagnostic accuracy, which may reduce the amount of time athletes cannot play in games or practice and may accelerate rehabilitation after injury.
MRI represent the optimal imaging tool in the evaluation of the sports – related knee injuries , which has been shown to be an accurate and non invasive method of diagnosing ligament, meniscal, cartilage and muscular knee injuries.
In our study we examined a 30 patients with the routine MRI technique without contrast, so we did not introduce specific sequences.
This study demonstrate a 86.6% sensitivity and 90% specificity for the ACL injuries, 80% sensitivity and 85% specificity for the meniscal injuries and 100% sensitivity and specificity for PCL injuries.
Our study results agree with the preliminary studies and both imply a high accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of meniscal and ligaments knee injuries.
In conclusion, MRI is a non invasive and accurate so is superior to the diagnostic arthroscopy and we recommend MRI as the primary diagnostic tool for the evaluation of sports knee injuries.
