✅ Normal ACL vs. ACL Tear at Femoral Insertion
- Normal ACL:
Appears as an elliptical, homogeneous low signal on axial MRI images, indicating a firm attachment to the lateral femoral condyle. - ACL Tear at Femoral Insertion:
- Axial MRI: Shows increased signal within the proximal ACL fibers or fluid between the torn ACL and lateral femoral condyle, suggesting a tear.
- T2-Weighted Imaging: High signal intensity within the ACL and fluid presence are key indicators of a femoral attachment tear coronal images.
