iIntroduction: MRI has a great effect on the management of internal derangement of the knee and is increasingly available to hospital specialists. Access to MRI by specialists for patients with knee problems could result in early diagnosis. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the Demographic and clinical characteristics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Various injuries in knee joint trauma. Materials and Methods: The patients was subjected to pulse sequences such as spin echo and fast spin echo technique, gradient echo (TIRM), and both slice selective and 3D Fourier transformation. Short Tau Inversion Recovery (STIR/FS) & FSE STIR was used. The patients were evaluated in sagittal, coronal and axial imaging planes. Results: MRI examination was performed on 130 patients with the complaints of knee injury. Regarding the most common age group, the affected were between 10 and 60 and this is explained by the fact that this age group being the most active group. From 130 patients examined in this study, 87 patients were males, and 43 of them were females. Of them, 44 (34%) had ACL tears, 7 (5%) had posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears, 25 (19%) had medial meniscus (MM) tears, and 18 (14%) had lateral meniscus (LM) injuries. Conclusion: Knee injuries showed a definitive male preponderance with male to female ratio of 72:28. Right side was seen injured more frequently as compared to left side. Pain was the most common presenting symptom in various knee injuries. Keywords: Knee injuries, Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
