The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important structure in maintaining the normal biomechanics of the knee and is the most commonly injured knee ligament. However, the oblique course of the ACL within the intercondylar fossa limits the visualization and assessment of the pathology of the ligament. This pictorial essay provides a comprehensive and illustrative review of the anatomy and biomechanics as well as updated information on different modalities of radiological investigation of ACL, particularly magnetic resonance imaging.
前交叉韧带(ACL)是维持膝关节正常生物力学的重要结构,也是膝关节最常受伤的韧带。然而,ACL在髁间窝内的走行倾斜,限制了对该韧带病变的可视化和评估。本文通过图片展示对ACL的解剖学和生物力学进行了全面且具说明性的综述,并提供了关于ACL不同影像学检查方式的最新信息,特别是磁共振成像。
