Aim & Objectives: To Study the spectrum of MRI findings in all consecutive cases of knee trauma and To evaluate the types and degree of various ligamentous and meniscal injuries by MRI.

Result: patient between 21-30 years are the most common group having knee injury and ACL is the most common ligaments to get injured.

Conclusion: MRI is usefull in knee joint injury and to avoid unnecessary interventions.

Keywords: knee injury, MRI of knee, ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL, meniscus.
