MRI of the knee is a crucial component for evaluating symptomatic patients. An awareness of normal and abnormal appearances assists in clinical decision making. Chronic degenerative changes and focal traumatic injuries can sometimes be confused with one another, so differentiation is crucial. As technology continues to evolve, identifying early disease and preventing disease progression will become an integral part of MRI interpretation.

Indolent Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma Mimicking a Benign Cystic Tumor.

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare intermediate tumor that is often difficult to diagnose radiologically and pathologically. Herein, we report a case of AFH in the knee that was initially misdiagnosed as a cystic lesion. The tumor was first identified eight years earlier during the patient's initial visit, when plain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed, leading to a diagnosis of a cystic lesion.

Department of Radiology, University Hospital of Strasbourg, 1 Avenue Moliere, 67098 Strasbourg, France.
Purpose: Compressed Sensing (CS) is an emerging technique to accelerate MRI acquisitions. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and accuracy of cartilage thickness measurements in the knee using a CS-enabled isotropic 3D Fast Spin-Echo (FSE) sequence on a 3-T MRI scanner.
Methods: Twenty-eight tibial condyle sections were collected from 14 adult patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty.
Purpose: Tibial rotational deformity is a known risk factor for patellofemoral joint (PFJ) disorders. However, it is commonly associated with other abnormalities which affect the PFJ. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of associated factors known to affect PFJ in patients undergoing rotational tibial osteotomy and their implication for the correction level.

A meniscus injury is a common cartilage disease of the knee joint. Despite the availability of various methods for the treatment of meniscal injuries, the poor regenerative capacity of the meniscus often necessitates resection, leading to the accelerated progression of osteoarthritis. Advances in tissue engineering have introduced meniscal tissue engineering as a potential treatment option.

Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Haseki Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: The aim of this study was to predict intraoperative graft diameter with our new method by evaluating the cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the hamstrings in axial sections of MRI.
Methods: This study included 78 patients who underwent single-bundle ACLR between 2022 and 2023. MRIs of the patients were evaulated preoperatively and four CSAs of the hamstring tendons were measured in two different regions by two participants.
