The Postoperative Knee 1: Menisci, Cruciate Ligaments, Cartilage

  • Chapter
Book cover Imaging of the Knee

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 597 Accesses

Abstract

Accurate interpretation of the postoperative status of the knee cannot be achieved without a working knowledge of the utilised surgical procedures and techniques, as well as familiarity with the expected imaging appearances of the structures that have been repaired, resected or replaced. A thorough understanding of these two areas is therefore a prerequisite to the identification and correct interpretation of recurrent or new problems in the postoperative knee. This chapter will focus primarily on the postoperative assessment of the knee following surgery to the menisci, cruciate ligaments and articular cartilage.
