ABSTRACT
This article highlights five knee injuries that, in the author's experience, are commonly overlooked by readers inexperienced in knee MRI ramp lesions, meniscocapsular tears, meniscal root ligament tears, posterior capsular ligament tears, and partial anterior cruciate ligament tears. Although these injuries are readily apparent when the images are assessed for the given abnormality, the author believes they may be overlooked because either the injury is not considered or the affected area is not closely inspected. These injuries may not alter immediate clinical management or require surgical intervention; nevertheless, they may result in patient symptoms and may potentially increase the risk of further knee injury. Moreover, these injuries are difficult to recognize clinically and arthroscopically. This review presents these five injuries, emphasizing relevant anatomy, normal MRI appearances, common injury patterns, and tips to avoid overlooking them. Routine review of these areas when interpreting knee MRI, with additional imaging as necessary, will allow these injuries to be recognized more regularly.
