Study on evalution of post traumatic knee joint injuries
Keywords:
post traumatic knee joint, ligament injuries, magnetic resonance imaging, meniscal injuriesAbstract
Background: The knee being the largest joint in the human body withstands complex forces which are exerted during various activities, rendering it prone to a number of acute and chronic injuries. It is also one of the most frequently injured joints, whether as an isolated injury or as a component in a multiple trauma patient. Aim and. Objectives: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of various ligamentous and meniscal injuries of post-traumatic knee joint. Materials and Methods: Once a patient fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this study he / she was administered the predesigned / pretested proforma. Demographic characteristics of the study population such as age, sex were obtained through an interview. The patients were then briefed about the procedure i.e. about the noise of the gradient coils and need to control the body movements for successful image acquisitions. The patient is asked to lie in supine position with the knee in close relation to the knee coil. The knee is then externally rotated 15-20° and is also minimally flexed 5-10°. Statistical Analysis: The data obtained was coded and entered into Microsoft Excel Worksheet. The categorical data was expressed as rates, ratios, proportions and percentages.
