Overall things look great. Very clear and thorough.
MCL and LCL tears[edit source]
Do both stress xrays and MRIs have 87% diagnostic accuracy or is it just MRIs?
Meniscus Tears[edit source]
Couple spacing typos (in bold and underlined)
"Newer MRI techniques, including 3-T scanners with cartilage-sensitive pulse sequences andT 2 mapping, allow detection of early degenerative changes in cartilage before discernible loss of cartilage thickness is visible on a conventional MRI.[6]"
• Look for areas of abnormal morphology
• Abnormally increased T1 and T2 signals (often linearly orient¬ed) intersect the edges of the meniscus along the articular surface
Patellar Subluxation/Dislocation[edit source]
Did you find anything that mentioned any significance in changes with the sulcus angle? I know it goes hand in hand with the congruence angle, but does it signify any other pathology when the sulcus angle is above or 137-141 deg?
