Abstract

In brief Although magnetic resonance imaging of the knee is performed primarily to assess meniscal and soft-tissue pathology, traumatic osseous lesions also may be detected with this method. These lesions include occult intraosseous fracture (a new diagnostic entity), stress fracture, and osteochondral fracture. The authors discuss specific features of magnetic resonance images that can help the physician make an accurate diagnosis.
