The aim was to evaluate how often MRI can detect the meniscofemoral ligament and if there is any relationship with the presence of lateral meniscal tears. Sagittal and coronal MR images of 138 patients with arthroscopically proven meniscal tears were included in this study. MR images were retrospectively reviewed for the presence of a meniscofemoral ligament and a lateral meniscal tear. The chi 2 test was used for statistical analysis. Either one or both meniscofemoral ligaments were shown in 114 (83%) of 138 patients on MR images. In 61 cases with a lateral meniscal tear, the meniscofemoral ligament was present in 82% (50/61) and absent in 18% (11/61). In 77 cases without lateral meniscal tear, the meniscofemoral ligament was present in 83% (64/77) and absent in 17% (13/77). A significant correlation was not established between the meniscofemoral ligament and lateral meniscal tear (p = 0.85).
本研究旨在评估MRI检测半月板股骨韧带的频率，以及其与外侧半月板撕裂的存在是否存在关联。本研究纳入了138例经关节镜证实存在半月板撕裂患者的矢状位和冠状位MR图像。对MR图像进行回顾性分析，以确定是否存在半月板股骨韧带和外侧半月板撕裂。采用卡方检验进行统计分析。在138例患者中，114例（83%）的MR图像显示有一条或两条半月板股骨韧带。在61例存在外侧半月板撕裂的病例中，82%（50/61）存在半月板股骨韧带，18%（11/61）不存在。在77例无外侧半月板撕裂的病例中，83%（64/77）存在半月板股骨韧带，17%（13/77）不存在。半月板股骨韧带与外侧半月板撕裂之间未建立显著相关性（p = 0.85）。
