Pearls from Stoller Macau April 2011 - 3. Knee

  1. Trochlear groove - assess on sag.
  2. Meniscofemoral and meniscotibial (coronary) recesses.
  3. Horizontal tear - must extend to apex (sag).
  4. Flap tear - one type that looks horizontal but extends short of apex creating small inferior leaf.
  5. Flap tear -- vertical configuration, but inner 1/3 (sag).
  6. Vertical/longitudinal tear - outer 1/3 (sag).
  7.  Menisco-capsular separation -- two scenarios
    • ACL with tear of periph of post. horn lat. meniscus (fluid betw. capsule and periph. of post. horn).
    • MCL tear with meniscotibial lig. tear.
  8.  Posterolat. corner -- review on sag and axial.
  9. SONK -- almost all cases are probably insufficiency fractures
  10. CMP - MRI adaptation of Outerbridge classification; describe rather than classify; ICRS classification.
  11. MPFL - slice above proximal origin of MCL, tears at femur
  12. Patella tendinosis - best on GRE.
