From: Concurrent use of oblique sagittal and oblique coronal MRI: does it enhance the specificity and the accuracy of diagnosing complete and partial ACL tears?

A female patient, 45 years old, complaining of knee trauma after a road traffic accident. a Sagittal T2 and b sagittal T2 fat suppression showing intrasubstance areas of increased signal intensity with ACL fibril discontinuity of ACL at the mid-substance in all pulse sequences (white arrows), compatible with high-grade partial tear of the ACL. Residual stumps on femoral and tibial sides (blue arrows) are thickened and increased in MR signal intensity. c Oblique coronal T2 and d oblique sagittal MRI images showing complete fiber discontinuity across the mid-substance of ACL with intrasubstance areas of high-signal intensity (white arrows) compatible with complete tear of the ACL. Residual stumps on femoral and tibial sides (blue arrows) are lax, thickened, and increased in signal intensity
