Electronic address: avneesh.chhabra@utsouthwestern.edu. Being a major load-bearing and dynamic functional joint of the body, the knee joint is prone to injuries to the menisci and ligaments. Injury to one or more of these structures leads to accelerated or premature osteoarthritis and chronic debilitation. The estimated cost of these injuries in terms of diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and person-hours lost amounts to over a billion dollars annually. Understanding the relevant anatomy of knee cruciate and collateral ligaments, their biomechanical functional role, and imaging considerations are essential to assist multi-disciplinary communications and timely patient treatments for improved management. MRI is considered the gold standard over other imaging modalities like X-ray, ultrasound (US), and Computed Tomography (CT) for diagnosing and assessing such injuries. High-resolution 2D and 3D MRI are considerably helpful in planning for knee preservation surgery, and this article reviews the role of such imaging as a valuable aid to knee preservation surgery in pre-and post-operative states. Relevant arthroscopy correlations have been illustrated. Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc. DOI: 10.1053/j.sult.2023.03.019
