Thank you so much, I've just had a major knee injury last week and learnt so much about understanding a knee MRI through this video.

I am looking at my MRI now, and watching your video. This is extremely helpful in the interpretation of some portions of the images. In no way am I expert, as my doctor is, but a rudimentary understanding is really nice to have. Thank you!

Thank you doctor, I have an ACL tear, tears in my lateral and medial menisci, and an MCL tear. This video will help me asses it as the more in-depth information I have the more relaxed I feel

Thank you so much, this explained all the ligaments injury i am facing.

I work in Ortho and have seen thousands of knee MRI’s but have had no idea what i’m looking at. Thank you for explaining this to me, maybe now I can look at a knee MRI and know what’s going on!

Thank you so much for this valuable video! I had knee surgery because of frontal pain of right knee. And as you said, besides the medical proffesionals, especially the patient would so nice to read these images. I currently not able to open the MRI CD but one day I hope I could read my MRI images😂 Thank you again!!

Very clear and accurate. Thank you. I learned a lot. I have ACL torn and have done a reconstruction surgery in May 10, 2023.

thanks Doc! might be time to return to my old habits of "sneaking into interesting lectures". i had a habit of going to more lectures than my own at times 😆

Very beautifully explained and compared normal MRI along its Pathological variant. 👍🏻

[minimovies]

Thank you very much. I had a recent knee injury. I had an MRI. The report noted some points, but the Doctor with not very helpful, but your videos are extremely helpful!

Super interessant en bevattelijk uitgelegd! Hartelijk dank daar voor.

I had a mri on my left knee. Several doctors are in disagreement of what I have. A. Could be a superficial vein blood clot that is infected b. A bakers cyst and c a popliteal aneurysm or d something completely different. I hope and pray the mri will shed some light. I'm in very awful pain that shoots down my left calf.

Bedankt voor dit filmpje, ik heb net voor de eerste keer een MRI laten nemen en ik wacht in spanning af op de resultaten. Duurt wel lang.

Thank you for your video. As a person with both knees osteoarthritis, I appreciate any knowledge that I can get. I have internal problems with bone on bone. Am using alternative therapies than having a full knee replacement.
Have a great day.👍👍👍👍

@12:00 So how do you correct lateral tilting of the patella?

[priestmike]

[madelynhernandez]

Awesome video! Thank you for the really great examples 🙏

[PresentOu]

thx for sharing, quite explicit and easy to understand!

[Wladivinci]

Wow, this is such a good video with the help of healthy and injured pictures.
From my MRI it seems that my meniscus damage got better in the last 2 years, although I get spontanous pain sometimes recently at different movements (which disappears within a few hours or days)

It would be so great if you could look at my pictures and tell me if I actually need an operation or I can heal it with the training I do!

[shabanalakhair]

Thankss.
Very nicely explained video .
