This MRI atlas of the knee joint is the fruit of interdisciplinary cooperation among radiologists, orthopedists and traumatologists. All important diseases and injuries of the knee are covered. Every part of the joint is comprehensively depicted in a series of MR images ranging all the way from the normal status to frank disease. Clinical evaluation of the findings is followed in each case by detailed information on diagnostic pitfalls, staging of disease and consequences for treatment. This special format helps to differentiate clearly between normal and abnormal imaging findings and facilitates construction of engrams for the major joint structures.
