MRI reliability
James Hall (2008-02-25 16:21) none
My daughter had an MRI that diagnosed her ACL as partially torn. It was the same ACL (hamstring graff) that was reconstructed a year earlier. She however had no pain and went the conservative route of treatment. She resumed activity(collegiate Basketball) about 4 weeks later and so far so good.She does wear a custom fit brace. After reading this article I am wandering about the reliability of the MRI.
