Research and progress in imaging characteristics of the cruciate ligament injury to the knee joint / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

Since 1980s,the ultrasonography has been applied to diagnose cruciate ligament injury of the keen joint and undergone continuous development.At present,cruciate ligament injury of the keen joint can be diagnosed by many examination methods,such as X-ray,arthroscopy,magnetic resonance and ultrasonography.X-ray and arthroscopy are invasive.Magnetic resonance is accurate,but expensive.Ultrasonography could clearly display the anatomic and damaged structure of the cruciate ligament.Ultrasonography is an economical,practical,and noninvasive diagnostic method,and it is valuable in diagnosis of the injured cruciate ligamengt of the knee joint.This manuscript comprehensively analyzes the development of functional anatomy,biomechanics,clinical manifestation,type of damage and imaging features of the injured cruciate ligamengt of the knee joint.The imaging examination of posterior cruciate ligament used by high-frequency and low-frequency ultrasound is valuable for diagnosis of injured anterior cruciate ligament.
