It can be divided into anteromedial and posterolateral bundles. Its average length is 31–38 mm and its average intersecting surface area is 36 mm 2 in females and 44 mm 2 in males 1. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) extends from the posterior surface of the medial femoral condyle and attaches to the intercondylar process of the tibia. Additionally, conventional sequences (CSs) associated with proton density-weighted imaging (PDWI) are only slightly better than CSs alone, but not statistically different. However, the principle, which states that the higher the MFI, the better the diagnostic accuracy, could not be verified. In conclusion, examination by MRI is able to provide appreciable diagnostic performance. The risk of publication bias was negligible ( p = 0.75). Neither threshold nor non-threshold effects were present ( p = 0.40, p = 0.06).

Computer and manual retrieval were carried out on studies published between Januand May 31, 2016.

Studies relevant to the diagnosis of ACL injury by MRI and arthroscopy were analyzed. We also compared the diagnostic accuracy of MRI with magnetic field intensities (MFI) greater than or equal to 1.5T with those below 1.5T, in addition to different MRI sequences.

We performed this meta-analysis to examine the diagnostic accuracy of MRI for the diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in comparison to arthroscopy.
