AbstractAnterior knee pain is associated with many different causes. The clinical diagnosis may be unclear when the patient initially presents for evaluation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a valuable modality with high diagnostic accuracy in the evaluation of extensor mechanism pathology, which commonly presents with anterior knee pain. The most common disorders include patellar fracture, patellofemoral tracking abnormalities, tendon trauma and degeneration. These injuries manifest with characteristic patterns on MR imaging. This article discusses normal anatomy, common injuries, and diagnostic pitfalls on MR imaging. Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
