Abstract
The purpose of this article is to describe findings on MRI in the evaluation of knee injury in pediatric patients. Injury patterns in the pediatric knee overlap and differ from adults. Differences include open physes, changing mechanics, and differences in ligamentous support. Awareness of normal variants, common incidental findings, and normal evolution of bone marrow aid in the interpretation.
