📌 Suture Tracks in Meniscal Tissue
Identification: Suture tracks within the meniscal tissue are discernible across all MRI pulse sequences.
However, their visibility is notably enhanced in PD (Proton Density) Fat Suppressed (PDFS) sequences.
➡️ Suture Tracks Appearance:
- Short Axis: Manifest as dot-like images, showcasing an intermediate to high signal.
- Long Axis: Present as linear images, also displaying an intermediate to high signal.
➡️ Suture Tracks Location:
- These suture tracks are embedded within the thickness of the meniscal tissue.
- A detailed examination allows for their tracing from the articular surface to the meniscus's periphery.
📌 Radial Tears in Vertical Suture
- It is possible to observe their formation originating from the suture tracks, extending towards the femoral and tibial surfaces of the meniscus
