Medial meniscal ossicles: Associated knee MRI findings in a multicenter case-control study

The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the prevalence meniscal, ligament cartilage lesions on knee MRI in a series age- sex-matched patients with without medial meniscal ossicle. Forty-two examinations obtained 42 (36 men, 6 women; mean age, 42.5 ± 22.2 [SD] years; range: 19–65 years) which ossicle present were compared 41.8 20.6 no ossicles present. Two radiologists (R1, R2) blinded presence by reading only fat-saturated intermediate-weighted MR images separately assessed these 84 examinations. Prevalence degree degradation at between knees those In ossicle, R1 R2 detected 33 (79%) 38 (90%) lesions, respectively that involved posterior root (n = 25/32 for R1/R2), horn 19/14 R1/R2) or body 8/10 R1/R2). tear (60% [25/42]/76% [32/42] anterior cruciate (ACL) (48% [20/42]/57% [24/42] as well score (3.35 0.87 3.92 0.78 significantly greater than (root lesions: P < 0.01 both readers; ACL score: readers).
