About this study
This study will evaluate how well magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect and characterize sports-related knee injuries. The study will include patients with sports-related knee injuries who undergo MRI examination. The MRI findings will be assessed for injuries involving the ligaments, menisci, cartilage, tendons, muscles, and bones, as well as other associated abnormalities. The study will also examine how MRI findings compare with the clinical diagnosis. The goal is to better understand the patterns and characteristics of sports-related knee injuries and the usefulness of MRI in their diagnosis and management.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the KneeDiagnostic test
Participants will undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee using a 1.5-Tesla MRI scanner. The MRI examination will include sagittal T1-weighted, sagittal T2-weighted, sagittal proton-density (PD) fat-suppressed, coronal T1-weighted, coronal PD fat-suppressed, axial T2-weighted, and axial PD fat-suppressed sequences. STIR imaging will be performed when indicated. MRI findings will be assessed for ligamentous, meniscal, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and bone injuries, as well as associated abnormalities such as joint effusion and Baker cyst.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Patients with Sports-Related Knee Injuries | Patients of any age and either sex presenting with sports-related knee injuries who meet the study eligibility criteria and undergo MRI of the knee. Patients with MRI contraindications, non-sports-related knee injuries, previous knee surgery, osteoarthritic changes, or those who decline participation will be excluded. Receives: Diagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Knee |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Diagnostic accuracy of MRI in detecting sports-related knee injuries
MRI findings will be assessed for the detection and characterization of ligamentous, meniscal, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and bone injuries in patients with sports-related knee injuries. Diagnostic performance will be evaluated using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy.
Measured: At the time of MRI examination (single assessment during the study visit).
Secondary outcomes (1)
Distribution and characterization of sports-related knee injuries on MRI
The study will evaluate the patterns and types of MRI-detected knee injuries, including ACL, PCL, collateral ligament, meniscal, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and bone injuries, as well as associated findings such as joint effusion and Baker cyst.
Measured: At the time of MRI examination (single assessment during the study visit).

What does the primary outcome measure?
Diagnostic accuracy of MRI in detecting sports-related knee injuries (time frame: At the time of MRI examination (single assessment during the study visit).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07795008, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
