Jan 9, 2025 · The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the two cruciate ligaments that stabilize the knee joint. The ACL arises from the anteromedial aspect of the intercondylar area on the tibial plateau and passes upwards and backwards to attach to the posteromedial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle.

We have initiated oblique axial imaging of the ACL and found it to very useful in allowing much clearer delineation of the two ACL bundles, and determining the presence, the location of the normal individual bundle anatomy and possibly individual bundle involvement of partial tears (Figure 7A and B). A clear potential benefit of imaging in an ...

Nov 16, 2024 · The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly disrupted ligament of the knee, especially in athletes who participate in sports that involve rapid starting, stopping, and pivoting (e.g. soccer, basketball, tennis, netball, and snow skiing).

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize the knee joint. An ACL tear is a common knee injury, especially among athletes. It occurs when the ACL is stretched beyond its limits or torn.

Diagnosis of partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears is difficult on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly the isolated tears of the posterolateral bundle. To describe 2 MRI signs of partial ACL tear involving the posterolateral ...

Axial views are useful for assessment of the ACL and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the notch, bone contusions, para-articular fluid collections, and the joint capsule. A variety of pulse sequences can be protocolled, as per radiologist’s choice.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of a pair of cruciate ligaments (the other being the posterior cruciate ligament) in the human knee. The two ligaments are called " cruciform " ligaments, as they are arranged in a crossed formation.

Oct 24, 2016 · The presence of fluid or high signal intensity between ACL and the lateral femoral condyle on axial images indicates a proximal tear (Fig. 1.5).

Nov 26, 2016 · The triple-bundle ACL was best depicted in the oblique axial plane. While the AM-M and AM-L bundles were clearly depicted in all cases, the PL bundle was not clearly visualized in two knees (8%). Therefore, the three ACL bundles were depicted in 22 knees (92%).

Oct 4, 2024 · The ACL has a wider tibial insertion than its femoral origin, fanning out, and a heterogeneous appearance between the AM and PL bundles distally through the intercondylar notch, allowing them to be distinguished from each other on axial, sagittal, and coronal cross-sectional images.
