Lectures
RC 510 - A. ACL injury: associated soft tissue injuries
15:56P. Omoumi, Lausanne / Switzerland
Learning Objectives
1. To explain the mechanism of an ACL tear, focusing on the associated soft tissue injuries to the menisci, posteromedial, and posterolateral corners.

RC 510 - B. ACL repair: MRI of a normal graft and the complications
14:39C. Pfirrmann, Zurich / Switzerland
Learning Objectives
1. To describe the normal anatomy and MRI appearances of an ACL repair by graft surgery.
2. To explain the imaging appearances of normal maturation and pathological conditions involving ligament repair.
