Abstract

Knee joint injuries in children and adolescents, especially those resulting from sports activities, are a serious clinical problem that requires accurate diagnosis for timely treatment and prevention of complications. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) occupies a key place in the visualization of intra-articular structures, due to the high sensitivity and non-invasive nature of the method. The article discusses the features of the use of MRI in the diagnosis of meniscus, cruciate ligament, articular cartilage and bone structures in children, taking into account age-related anatomical and physiological differences. The role of MRI as an imaging standard for sports knee injuries in pediatric practice is emphasized.
