PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This study is a component part of the project focused on cartilage imaging after the treatment of a defect. It aims to compare the evaluation of postoperative status performed by two radiologists with the use of 2D MOCART scoring system and to determine whether this method is a reliable tool for the evaluation of postoperative changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study evaluated 78 MRI examinations from 25 patients (one patient had two defects treated), each of whom underwent 3 MRI examinations at 6, 12 and 18 months after surgery.

- This study aimed to investigate changes in cartilage quality and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) content after two types of surgical interventions: microfracture treatment and scaffold implantation with microfractures.
- Twenty-five patients underwent MR examinations before and at 6, 12, and 18 months post-surgery to assess qualitative changes in cartilage using specific MRI sequences and measure GAGs content at three different locations.
- Results showed no significant differences in cartilage changes between the two treatment methods over time, indicating that GAGs content fluctuated similarly in both treatment groups, and the monitoring technique (dGEMRIC) was effective even with a different contrast agent (Gd-DOTA).
Background: Laryngeal mask UNIQUE® (LMAU) is supraglottic airway device with good clinical performance and low failure rate. Little is known about the ideal position of the LMAU on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and whether radiological malposition can be associated with clinical performance (audible leak) in children. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate incidence of the radiologic malposition of the LMAU according to size.

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a potential orthopaedic/traumatology emergency. Without prompt, precise diagnosis and immediate treatment with surgical decompressive fasciotomy it can lead to neurological dysfunction and disability. The role of regional anaesthesia (RA) in patients at risk for ACS/ and in those with developed ACS is controversial.

The aim of this study was to compare high resolution MRI using a microscopic coil with direct MRI arthrography in patients with suspected scapholunate ligament lesions and compare the results with arthroscopy findings and Geissler's arthroscopy classification. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study was carried out in 47 patients (average age, 30.
