Abstract

Knee injuries are common and radiographs remain the first line of study in the majority of cases. In many instances, subtle or small radiographic findings actually represent significant underlying pathology that requires expeditious diagnosis and treatment. By using a mechanistic search strategy, one that applies a comprehensive search for avulsions at ligamentous/tendinous/connective tissue attachments and potential sites of impaction, one may maximize the diagnostic accuracy of radiographic interpretation. This article will provide a review of important indicators of ligament, tendon, and osseous injuries with an emphasis on their mechanism of injury.
