🔴Partial Tear of PCL
1️⃣Frequency and Diagnosis Challenges:
- Partial tears are more common in the PCL than in the ACL.
- An acutely torn PCL can appear as a continuous structure in 62% to 75% of cases, making it difficult to differentiate between complete and partial tears.
- Reference: Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am. 2022 May;30(2):261-275.
2️⃣Imaging Characteristics:
- Intrasubstance fluid signal intensity on T2-weighted images is observed in only 19% of partial tears.
- A striated appearance is more common in partial tears, with up to 71% of cases demonstrating this appearance.
- Reference: Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am 22 (2014) 557–580.
