Overall things look great.  Very clear and thorough.

MCL and LCL tears[edit source]

Do both stress xrays and MRIs have 87% diagnostic accuracy or is it just MRIs? 


Meniscus Tears[edit source]

 "Newer MRI techniques, including 3-T scanners with cartilage-sensitive pulse sequences andT 2 mapping, allow detection of early degenerative changes in cartilage before discernible loss of cartilage thickness is visible on a conventional MRI.[6]"


• Look for areas of abnormal morphology
• Abnormally increased T1 and T2 signals (often linearly orient¬ed) intersect the edges of the meniscus along the articular surface


Patellar Subluxation/Dislocation[edit source]
