- Question
- Answer
- Side 3

- What is the name of the tendons that run behind the fibular
- the peroneal tendons
- What is a common injury that occurs to the peroneus brevis tendon
- a perneus brevis tendon tear
- What is the cause of a peroneus brevis tear
- dorsiflexion/inversion
- What direction does the peroneus brevis tendon tear
- it is usually a longitudinal tear
- Tom Dick And Harry
  
  Toms Harry Dick
- posterior compartment tendons
  
  posterior tibialis
  flexor digitorum
  artery
  flexor hallisus
- What is the tarsal tunnel of the ankle
- this is where tom dick and harry are located
- When moving through the coronal images of the knee what is a clue you are looking at the posterior horn
- the fibula is located more posterior and so is the PCL
- What is a radial tear of the meniscus
- Radial tears are perpendicular to the long axis of the meniscus. They start at the inner margin and go either partial or all the way through the meniscus dividing the meniscus into a front and a back piece (if they occur in the body...side)
- What is a longitudinal tear of the meniscus
- Longitudinal tears parallel the long axis of the meniscus dividing the meniscus in an inner and outer part.
  So the distance between the tear and the outer margin of the meniscus is always the same (figure).
  The tear never touches the inner margin.
- What is a bucket handle tear of the meniscus
- a type of longitudinal tear where the tear is displaced toward the center of the knee like a bucket handle
- Named 3 types of displaced tears of the menisci
- Bucket-handle tear = displaced longitudinal tear.
  Flap tear = displaced horizontal tear.
  Parrot beak = displaced radial tear.
- What is a flipped meniscus
- Flipped meniscus is a form of bucket handle tear.
  There is a capsular detachment or peripheral tear of the meniscus, usually the posterior horn.
  The posterior horn flippes over onto the anterior horn.
- What is a complex tear of the meniscus
- Complex tears are a combination of these basic shapes.(radial, horizontal, longitudinal)
- What is a horizontal tear of the meniscus
- Horizontal tears divide the meniscus in a top and bottom part (pitta bread).
- What happens if a horizontal tear goes all the way through the
- If horizontal tears go all the way from the apex to the outer margin of the meniscus they may result in the formation of a meniscal cyst.
- What is a meniscal root tear
- A meniscal root tear is a radial tear located at the meniscal root.
- How do you diagnose a meniscal root tear
- Normally when you image the posterior cruciate ligament on sagittal images you should see a considerable posterior horn of the meniscus on that image or the image adjacent to it.
  If this is not the case it is an absent or empty meniscus-sign indicating a radial tear.
- How do you detemine if you are looking at the medial meniscus on sagital views
- The posterior horn is always larger than the anterior horn
- Where is the posterior horn of the medial meniscus
- The posterior root is immediately anterior to the posterior cruciate ligament.
- Describe the insertion points of the anterior horn of the medial mensicus
- The anterior horn has an insertion on the tibia and a second portion that travels from medial to lateral to connect to the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus
- On sagital views what horn is higher (lateral meniscus)
- On sagittal images the posterior horn is higher in position than the anterior horn.
- What is the criteria for a meniscal tear
- The two most important criteria for meniscal tears are an abnormal shape of the meniscus and high signal intensityon PD-images unequivocally contacting the surface
- What plane is best for visualization of the radial tears of the anterior and posterior horns
- coronal views
- What plane is best for visualization of radial tears of the body
- sagital
- What is the classic sign for a radial tear of the body on sagital imaging
- interuption of the bow tie
- Where is the most common location of a radial tear
- the body
- What is a complication of a meniscal tear
- 2ndary osteoarthritis
- What changes are seen on T2W images in myoid degeneration of the ACL
- bright signal
- What is a complication of myxoid degeneration of the ligaments
- cyst developing behind the knee
  
  cyst with in the bone
  
  from mucin
- If you see a mass in the ACL what is it most likely going to be
- a ganglion cyst
- What is a discoid meniscus
- A discoid meniscus is thought to be more prone to tear than a normal
  meniscus, and it can be symptomatic even without being torn.
- How often do mensical cyst occur
- 5% of cases
- Can meniscal cyst cause pain without an associated pain
- yes
- Are meniscal cyst associated with discoid menisci
- yes
- What does a discoid mensicus look like on coronal and sagital images
- meniscus with meniscal tissue extending into the intercondylar notch medially
  
  more than 2 images with a bowtie
- What may cause a pseudotear of the anterior horn of the meniscus
- transverse ligament of the anterior horns (connects the anterior horns of the medial and lateral menisci)
- What ligament normaly has lower signal; PCL or ACL
- PCL
- What is the ligament that travels behind the posterior collateral ligament
- ligament of wrisberg
  
  ligament of humphrey is anterior
- What is an intercondylar notch cyst
- Cyst within or extending from the intercondylar notch
- What are the findings of a intercondylar notch cyst
- Increased signal intensity (T2WI) mass expanding and/or extending from a cruciate ligament
  Size: Mild expansion of cruciate ligament to cyst, several centimeters in size
- What is the cause of an intercondylar notch cyst
- Related to trauma followed by tissue breakdown of cruciate ligament or adjacent tissue (mucoid degeneration)
- What is the ddx of a t2 bright cyst posterior to the knee
- intercondylar notch cyst
  meniscal cyst
  popliteal cyst
- What is popliteal cyst
- Fluid distension of gastrocnemius/semimembranosus bursa which is usually in communication with the knee joint
- What are the findings of jumpers knee
- thickened high signal patella tendon, particularly of the deep and proximal fibers.
- What is jumpers knee
- is a chronic insertional injury of the posterior and proximal fibres of the patella tendon, where they insert into the inferior pole of the patella.
