1. Review the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) classification for meniscal tear evaluation, since it is most widely used and recommended by sports surgeons to ensure consistency of arthroscopic evaluation, avoid measurement errors and facilitate treatment outcome assessment. 2. Learn imaging appearances of different meniscal tears based on ISAKOS classification on 3D isotropic spin echo MR imaging technique and its multiplanar reconstructions. 3. Correlate the meniscal pathology with arthroscopy images.

1. Review the ISAKOS system of characterization of meniscal tears 2. 3D isotropic spin echo MR imaging tehcnique in 3 Tesla scanner. 3. Demonstrate the various types of meniscal tears on multiplanar reconstructions from 3D imaging for reader understanding in a quiz format. 4. Relevant arthroscopy pictorial correlations.
