| Abstract | ||
| INTRODUCTION Anterior Knee Pain (AKP) is one of the most common knee complaints. Clinical examination is not usually conclusive to point out the exact location of the lesion causing pain. In the recent decades, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become the gold standard imaging modality for several knee pathologies as it is safe, lacking use of ionizing radiation. Multiplanar imaging capability and superior soft tissue detail provides a distinct advantage for MRI over other imaging modalities in addition to its non-invasive, non-operator dependent, and cost effective nature. MRI is well known for being particularly useful for scanning and detecting abnormalities in soft tissue structures like the cartilage tissues, tendons, and ligaments. Moreover, MR images can be used to assess anatomic variants that may contribute to chronic patellar instability. AIM OF THE WORK The aim of this study was to assess the role of magnetic resonance imaging in determining the possible causes of anterior knee pain in symptomatic individuals and emphasis on their MRI findings. | ||
