Background: The knee joint represents a common anatomical site susceptible to injury. Although, Arthroscopic procedures play a vital role in both diagnostics and therapeutics, offering insights into the nature of the injury. However, the invasive nature of arthroscopy and its potential complications underscore the need for alternative diagnostic methods. MRI has gained acceptance as the preferred non-invasive modality for evaluating knee injuries. This study aims to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of MRI results in comparison to arthroscopy findings in knee joint injuries, with arthroscopy serving as the gold standard for assessment.

Material and methods: This is a prospective study with 50 no. of patients. The study group includes patients coming to Al-Ameen Medical College Hospital, Vijyapura, India, clinically diagnosed to have ligamentous injuries of knee and undergoing MRI in the Department of Radiology. The study was conducted between August 2022-July 2024.

Results: In the present study, it was observed that majority of patients, 82% were male and 18% were females. 40% of patients were in age group 18-28 years. There were no instances of bilateral knee involvement, with the right knee joint (64%) being more frequently affected than the left knee (36%). Accuracy of MRI in reference to Arthroscopy in detecting ACL, PCL, Medial meniscus and lateral meniscus was found to be 94%, 100%, 96% and 94%, respectively.
