Dynamic Knee Laxity Measurement Coupled to MRI in Cases of Suspected Partial Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear

Dynamic Knee Laxity Measurement Coupled to MRI in Cases of Suspected Partial Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is frequent, but the diagnosis of partial tears is difficult. Standard MRI may be used but is of limited diagnostic value. The present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic interest of dynamic knee laxity measurement coupled to MRI for the diagnosis of ACL tear.

Inclusion Criteria:

• knee injury requiring MRI examination
• accepting to participate
• covered by a health care insurance system

Exclusion Criteria:

• MRI contraindication
• pregnancy
• patient included in another study potentially affecting the results
