Imaging of the anterior cruciate ligament

Figure 2 Segond fracture. A 30-year-old man suffered knee injury during a basketball match. A: Frontal radiograph of the right knee shows an avulsion fracture fragment at the lateral tibial rim (black arrow) compatible with Segond fracture. This fracture is frequently associated with a torn anterior cruciate ligament which also happened in this patient (not shown); B: A coronal T2-weighted fat suppression magnetic resonance image of the same patient. Corresponding site reveals a minimally displaced Segond fracture (white arrow) which may be easily missed in this patient with no significant bone bruise or oedema.
