Abstract

Abstract: Background: Understanding the RELATION between anterior cruciate ligament and postero lateral corner TRAUMA with antero-lateral ligament of knee with it’s clinical diagnosis would help us better understand the pattern of injury and to take proper treatment action .Objectives :To find the correlation between pattern of injury of anterolateralligament , anterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner injury on MRI with it’s clinical correlation and associated findings. Methodology: A cross-sectional study will be done at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi, involving52 patients who present with knee trauma for MRI. The sample will be selected and involvement of Anterior cruciate ligament ,postero lateral corner injury and antero-lateral ligament with associated findings will be evaluated using T1, T2 and PD MRI sequences. These will be compared and there association will be calculated which can be used for better planning of treatment. Results: After appropriate statistical analysis, we expect to find association between anterolateral ligament and anterior cruciate ligament tear with posterolateral corner injury and this will be considered for reconstruction. Conclusion: In this observational study, we expect associations between injured ligaments with aid of clinical findings . We also expect to find a positive association between anterolateral ligament with posterolateral corner injury and anterior cruciate ligament tear.
