Purpose: We aimed to identify the anterolateral ligament (ALL) tears in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knees using standard 1.5-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: We included all patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction at our center between 2012 and 2015.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to arthroscopy in identifying meniscal and cartilage injuries in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiencies.
- A total of 206 patients were analyzed, with findings showing that MR imaging effectively detected medial meniscus tears but struggled with lateral meniscus tears and certain cartilage injuries, especially in complex cases.
- Results indicated that age and the presence of prior injuries influenced MR imaging accuracy, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing specific knee injuries accurately using this imaging technique.
