Can MRI spot the full extent of sports knee injuries?
NCT ID NCT07795008
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests how well magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detects and describes knee injuries from sports. Researchers will scan the knees of 50 patients with sports-related injuries and compare the images with clinical diagnoses. The goal is to see how accurate MRI is at finding damage to ligaments, cartilage, tendons, muscles, and bones, which could improve how these injuries are diagnosed and managed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee
- What this could lead to
- If MRI proves highly accurate, it could become a more reliable tool for diagnosing sports knee injuries and guiding treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study. MRI may not always match the clinical diagnosis, and results may not apply to all patients or injury types.
