This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Background: The knee is a major weight bearing joint that provides mobility and stability during physical activity as well as balance while standing. Traumatic knee injuries are frequently encountered both in general practice and in the hospital setting. These injuries are often caused by sports activities and may lead to severe pain and disability. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with its multi-planar capabilities and excellent soft tissue contrast, has established itself as the leading modality for noninvasive evaluation of the sports related knee injuries. Materials and methods: A prospective study was conducted at the department of radiology in BLDE (DU), Shri B M Patil Medical College & RC during the period February 2020 to February 2022. 100 patients (100 knees) were examined, 84 patients were males and 22 patients were females their ages ranging from (16-61) years, presented with various knee joint injuries and were referred from Orthopedics Department BLDE (DU), Shri B M Patil Medical College & RC, Vijayapur, Karnataka. Results: In our study MRI examination was performed on (100) patients with complaints of knee injury.
