Aim

To correlate the surgical and MRI findings in acute lateral patellar dislocation and to determine the accuracy of MRI in identifying location of MFPL injury.

Methods

Surgical repair of MFPL was performed within 2 weeks of injury. Arthroscopy was performed at the same time to remove osteochondral fragments and to confirm the diagnosis by viewing the area of haemorrhage deep to medial retinaculum. MRI was reported by consultant radiologist with a special interest in musculoskeletal system. MRI and surgical finding were compared.
