Abstract
In conclusion our findings proved that MRI has high sensitivity and specificity regarding the assessment of the post-operative knee joint also all the above-mentioned papers stressed that MRI imaging provides excellent anatomical and morphological assessment of the knee joint after surgical intervention especially in the field of ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair and Meniscectomy more than 25%, being time saving and non-invasive as well as being available on a broad spectrum.
We recommend doing conventional MRI in cases presented with post operative pain after ACL reconstruction, if a partial tear is suggested either clinically or by imaging, Further MR arthrography will be then recommended.
As for meniscal surgeries, MR arthrography is necessary for detection of recurrent tear in cases of meniscal repair and partial meniscectomy more than 25%. However, when meniscus resection is minimal conventional MRI may be enough for diagnosis.
Looking forward to assess cartilage surgeries for osteochondral injuries which are considered an important cause of post operative knee and they weren’t included in our study.
Area of future research is the use of specific MRI sequences to identify problems in each of the various tissues in and around the knee (ligaments, menisci, tendons, articular surface and bone), while keeping the investigation within acceptable times and costs.
