Thank you so much, I've just had a major knee injury last week and learnt so much about understanding a knee MRI through this video.
I am looking at my MRI now, and watching your video. This is extremely helpful in the interpretation of some portions of the images. In no way am I expert, as my doctor is, but a rudimentary understanding is really nice to have. Thank you!
Beautifully explained. Thank you for sharing
Very beautifully explained and compared normal MRI along its Pathological variant. 👍🏻
Super amazing, thank you for the video professor.
Amazing content - you are a true hero
Thank you for the video, its really informative!
Thank you for your video. As a person with both knees osteoarthritis, I appreciate any knowledge that I can get. I have internal problems with bone on bone. Am using alternative therapies than having a full knee replacement.
Have a great day.👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for this valuable video! I had knee surgery because of frontal pain of right knee. And as you said, besides the medical proffesionals, especially the patient would so nice to read these images. I currently not able to open the MRI CD but one day I hope I could read my MRI images😂 Thank you again!!
Very clear and accurate. Thank you. I learned a lot. I have ACL torn and have done a reconstruction surgery in May 10, 2023.
Excellent work doc.

Fantastic…well done🙂
Bedankt voor dit filmpje, ik heb net voor de eerste keer een MRI laten nemen en ik wacht in spanning af op de resultaten. Duurt wel lang.
Thank you so much it was helpful
WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU 🎉🎉🎉
Such a help♥️
Good bless you doctor
Thank you. I will see if I can read my MRI from the disc. Not sure if I need special software. I have the radiologists full report as well, so it would be very interesting to see what he has observed. I am 82, have played golf for over 60 years, went to the gym regularly from 1985 until the Covid pandemic and focused mainly on leg exercises, used to jog until about 9 years ago (had a colon cancer operation in 2015 and a quadruple bypass heart operation in 2018) so the damage is mostly degenerative wear and tear. Quite a lot of pain. I have elected not to have surgery to see if I can heal enough to resume close to normal activity including golf. The radiologist's summary says: In the medial meniscus I have diffuse intrasubstance degeneration with a horizontal flap tear involving the undersurface of the posterior horn extending into the posterior aspect of the body segment, and an associated 0.5 cm flap interior to the body in the medial gutter. In the lateral meniscus, diffuse intrasubstance degeneration throughout with free edge fraying and small horizontal tear of the mid body segment. I have an appointment for physical therapy, but not until Feb 5 so am trying to learn as much as I can in the meantime.
Thanks!
Well explained
Thank You! :)
Thank you sir
Wow, this is such a good video with the help of healthy and injured pictures.
From my MRI it seems that my meniscus damage got better in the last 2 years, although I get spontanous pain sometimes recently at different movements (which disappears within a few hours or days)
It would be so great if you could look at my pictures and tell me if I actually need an operation or I can heal it with the training I do!
Thanks a lot
Amazing
Thanks❤
Outstanding video.
I had a mri on my left knee. Several doctors are in disagreement of what I have. A. Could be a superficial vein blood clot that is infected b. A bakers cyst and c a popliteal aneurysm or d something completely different. I hope and pray the mri will shed some light. I'm in very awful pain that shoots down my left calf.
Hey, how did it go? Did they settle their argument and did you get proper treatment?
@@Psycho_SugarCraze thanks for asking .... luckily it was A . They put me on blood thinner for a little while took me off then went in and removed the clot. The superficial vein was cauterized. For about 4 months afterwards everything was good but I guess I just have bad veins and the same area is pulling blood there again in the same spot .. I actually go soon again to see another vascular doctor...
@@drowninginmusic3757 damn, it just had to happen again 🫤. It's good something was done about it then. Good luck with meeting the new doctor!
No problem at all😁
I'm not entirely sure what's wrong, I fell off a motorbike onto my knee it's been 25 days I cannot bend my knee much and I'll be going for an MRI tomorrow. X-ray showed no visible fractures and ultrasound showed that my lateral and medial ligaments are okay one is a bit swollen and something about my muscle that connects to the tendons on my knee being inflamed. I guess tomorrow I'll have an answer

Excellent presentation. Could you share PowerPoint presentation with me to share to physicians here in US?
My daughters been in pain for four months due to a softball injury, we have DOOKIE medical coverage, so we got the MRI but do not know what the hell the images mean we have to wait for doctor to get back to us so in the meantime, this will help very much. Thanks.
what about the mpfl? and the patella instability syndrome...very important to look after them
easy and poerfull
Stop the presses, we finally found Jimmy Hoffa😂
What would a sprain/strain look like (for example if injury happened 5 months ago)
Thank you doctor for all these details . I recent had a ligament injury . MRI report says it is 'Near complete tear of ACL'
I am very confused should I go for ACL reconstruction or not . I have no pain while walking. Getting down using stairs is a problem, more like i dont have confidence. What should be my next step ( Physiotherapy or surgery) ? Please guide me
Hello, I'm a sports & rehab physician, and really the answer to your question depends a lot on your age, your daily life, exercise and laboral activities, as well as a thorough clinical evaluation.
My advice would definitely be to get checked by a licensed MD (preferably an ortho surgeon or rehab MD), so they can answer all of your questions.
Now, having said this, physiotherapy is usually useful in both case scenarios, whether you have surgery or not (prior to surgery it's helpful with pain, swelling, and even strength). Hope this helps.
I have what looks like bone marrow oedema on my tibial plateau but nothing on the femoral condyle. I also have a clearly visible structure where the ACL should be but it's not as thick as the PCL. I'm very confused.
Just found it's a stable fracture of the posterolateral tibia with bone marrow oedema. Relieved all my ligaments and menisci are intact.
I would love to know how to get an MRI
I'm in huge problem sir ,too much stiffness on my left knee I can't bend my knees it's become so tight.
Sir my knee is pain due to heavy jump.which treatment i do
Can i share my mri with you???
Fascinating, but assumes you get the images in the first place - not very common in medical practice, is it?
The professor works in Belgium where everyone can access the images with a code. However only doctors can see the reports.
In my health system (UCHealth Colorado) all images are posted in the patient portal, along with doctor notes. I will be seeing a knee specialist soon and this was extremely helpful. Thanks for posting
Just ask for a disk.
ok damn my acl is gone.
