Abstract

Objective: Today, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures used to detect and measure articular hyaline cartilaginous defects are being increasingly investigated. In this study, we evaluated the sensitivity and diagnostic efficiency of MRI in the detection of particularly advanced cartilage pathologies compared to the arthroscopic results.
