The “Namaste Sign”—A Novel Coronal MRI Marker for the Evaluation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Integrity
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is universally recognized as the gold standard for evaluating anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. However, differentiating partial tears from complete ruptures using the standard sagittal plane remains a diagnostic challenge. The oblique coronal orientation of the ACL often leads to volume averaging artifacts and inaccurate interpretations. While axial imaging offers a favorable alternative, distal tears near the tibial attachment are frequently missed. This review synthesize …
