Abstract

Autoři předkládají přehled běžně používaných technik a nových trendů zobrazování chrupavek, zvláště pooperačně, a také diskutují o potenciálu zobrazení MRI chrupavky z pohledu zkušeného ortopedického chirurga. Závěrem autoři navrhují vysvětlení možných nesrovnalostí mezi MRI a artroskopickými nálezy.

Abstract (in English)

The authors present an overview of the commonly used techniques and new trends of the cartilage imaging, especially postoperatively, and also discuss the potential of MRI imaging of the cartilage from the perspective of an experienced orthopaedic surgeon. In conclusion, the authors propose possible explanations for the potential discrepancies between the MRI and the arthroscopic findings. Hyaline cartilage damage and subsequent reparation of this tissue is one of the topical issues of orthopaedics and traumatology. Due to the expanding possibilities of treatment of this tissue and a relatively good effect of the surgery, the number of patients indicated for magnetic resonance imaging prior to the surgery has been on an increase. To make a decision concerning the subsequent type of treatment, it is necessary to get an idea of the cartilage cover condition, articular surfaces and also of the associated pathologies. The degree of cartilage damage can be assessed by arthroscopy or magnetic resonance imaging, which provides also the possibility of the subchondral lesion detection. Thanks to the non-invasive nature of the MRI examination, it has become the most important method in full imaging of the articular cartilage. The MRI of the cartilage has many options and at present the evaluation of the hyaline cartilage should be an integral part of each MRI examination of joints. For a more accurate assessment of the cartilage there are several advanced techniques available that can be used not only for preoperative diagnostics, but also for monitoring after the surgery.
