Knee sprain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of a 32 year old man's knee,sprained in a skiing accident. The knee joint is composed of cartilage and fluid (blue) that protect and lubricate the joint surfaces,and ligament that joins bone to bone. This patient has had a synovial rupture,where the joint fluid (synovium) has burst from within the joint and spread around the knee,causing swelling and inflammation. Surgical intervention is required to remove the fluid | |
