[Abstract] Magnetic resonance imaging is widely used in imaging diagnosis of knee injuries. At present, most domestic hospitals adopt supine extended position in routine MRI knee scans. However, due to anatomical relationship and kinematic characteristics of knee in different flexion positions, the evaluation of knee injuries in extended knee may be inaccurate, especially in the judgment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries and patellar femoral instability. This article mainly reviews the research progress in evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament injuries and patellar femoral instability by MRI of different knee positions, and aims to explore the value of multi-angle scanning in improving the diagnostic accuracy of knee injuries.
