Background: The anatomical and pathological interpretation of soft tissue, ligaments, fibrocartilage and articular cartilage is superior to that seen with computed tomography (CT) with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Fast spin-echo imaging, used for fat suppression in conjunction with MR technique, has improved the sensitivity and accuracy of MR to detect injuries to the articular cartilage. Besides, three-dimensional (3D) volume techniques have shown MR imaging __ampersandsignlsquo;s flexibility in measuring meniscal tears. This can be used to reformat orthogonal and non-orthogonal representations of meniscal tears planes. Aim: The present study was done for evaluation of meniscal injuries of the knee on MRI. Material: This study was carried out in 100 subjects (63 males and 37 females) ageing from 12 to 73 years. Results: The findings obtained showed that medial meniscal tears/degeneration (64 %) accompanied by anterior cruciate ligament tear (49 %) were the most frequently found pathology of all patients. Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging has a high degree of sensitivity, precision and accuracy in the diagnosis of the meniscal, posterior cruciate ligament and full anterior cruciate tears in detecting partial anterior cruciate ligament tears.
