- The article highlights different anatomical structures of the anterior knee and discusses common injuries and their MRI characteristics, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these diagnostic challenges.
Article Abstract
The anterior aspect of the knee is host to an array of normal variants and potential pathology. These normal anatomic variants are often encountered and may mimic pathologies, leading to unnecessary work-up and treatments. On the other hand, there are several subtle abnormalities that may be easily overlooked or mistaken for variants or other injuries or diseases. Recognition of these diagnostic challenges is essential for radiologists to make an accurate diagnosis. This article reviews normal anatomical variants of ligaments, tendons, bones, and other important structures of the anterior knee, focusing on magnetic resonance imaging features. Commonly encountered injuries and abnormalities of the anterior knee and their diagnostic pitfalls are also discussed, highlighting findings on magnetic resonance imaging.
