Fig. 5:

Example of ALL tear by distal avulsion

(arrow)

. The standard radiography

shows a Segond fracture. The 3D T2-weighted MRI and ultrasound show the

pathological thickening of the ALL and its bony avulsion at the distal enthesis. Note

the anterior cruciate ligament tear on the MRI

(asterisk)

. Thanks to Marie Faruch.

Fig. 6:

Example of an ALL tear without any bone injury. Severe damage to the ALL

under MRI and ultrasound without any bone injury. The ligament is completely

infiltrated and thickened under MRI with a clearly visible pathological hypersignal on

the sections using a fat suppression technique. Associated anterior cruciate

ligament tear

(asterisk)

. Comparative ultrasound sections clearly show the hypoechoic

ligament, which is thickened and distended on the injured side
