Orthopedics. 2003 Mar;26(3):280, 351-4. doi: 10.3928/0147-7447-20030301-06.

Abstract

Imaging in knee dislocation requires multiple modalities and a comprehensive assessment of ligaments, cartilage, bone, nerve, and vascular anatomy. Magnetic resonance imaging is essential in the work-up of these patients and MRA is a promising modality for detecting vascular injury.
