From: Reporting knee meniscal tears: technical aspects, typical pitfalls and how to avoid them
Standard radiograph (a) of the right knee in a 42-year-old male patient with a mild knee trauma shows typical signs of chondrocalcinosis with calcification (small arrows) within the articular space. Sagittal T2 weighted fat-suppressed fast spin echo image (b) shows traumatic bone marrow abnormalities (arrowhead) within the lateral femoral condyle and an oblique tear of the root of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus (arrow). The tear should not be misinterpreted as the anterior transverse ligament or the geniculate ligament (small arrow), which is relatively thin, but intact in this patient
