1-3-2-Bone contusion and ACL tear




Bone bruises. A 26-year-old man suffered knee injury. Sagittal T2-weighted fat suppression magnetic resonance knee image shows that there are bone bruises (asterisks) present in the mid-lateral femoral condyle and posterolateral tibial plateau which indicate that the mechanism of injury is internal rotation of the tibia in valgus stress injury. This pattern of bone bruise has a high association of anterior cruciate ligament complete tear which is present in this patient (not shown).
