Abstract：Posterior meniscal root injury is common,but some injuries can be hardly displayed clearly under arthroscopy. At present, MRI is the most reliable non-invasive imaging modality in evaluating the degree of the injury. Combined with different MRI sequences,posterior meniscal root injury can be diagnosed. It is beneficial to evaluate the damage accurately, and thus to help the operation proceed smoothly.We conducted the review of the literature about the imaging of posterior meniscal root injury in recent several years. The anatomy of posterior meniscal root, mechanism of its injury, MRI features (direct and indirect MRI signs), clinical classification, and the application of novel MRI techniques in evaluating posterior meniscal root injury were discussed to improve the understanding of MRI findings of this injury.
