An observational study in Sports-related Knee Injuries, sponsored by Sohag University. Recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-31.
Sponsored by Sohag University · Observational
This study will evaluate how well magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect and characterize sports-related knee injuries. The study will include patients with sports-related knee injuries who undergo MRI examination. The MRI findings will be assessed for injuries involving the ligaments, menisci, cartilage, tendons, muscles, and bones, as well as other associated abnormalities. The study will also examine how MRI findings compare with the clinical diagnosis. The goal is to better understand the patterns and characteristics of sports-related knee injuries and the usefulness of MRI in their diagnosis and management.
267 studies on the registry are indexed under Knee Injuries; 59 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 50 is below the median of 82 across 79 observational studies indexed under Knee Injuries.

Patients of any age and either sex presenting with sports-related knee injuries who meet the study eligibility criteria and undergo MRI of the knee. Patients with MRI contraindications, non-sports-related knee injuries, previous knee surgery, osteoarthritic changes, or those who decline participation will be excluded.
Diagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Knee
Participants will undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee using a 1.5-Tesla MRI scanner. The MRI examination will include sagittal T1-weighted, sagittal T2-weighted, sagittal proton-density (PD) fat-suppressed, coronal T1-weighted, coronal PD fat-suppressed, axial T2-weighted, and axial PD fat-suppressed sequences. STIR imaging will be performed when indicated. MRI findings will be assessed for ligamentous, meniscal, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and bone injuries, as well as associated abnormalities such as joint effusion and Baker cyst.
Diagnostic accuracy of MRI in detecting sports-related knee injuries
MRI findings will be assessed for the detection and characterization of ligamentous, meniscal, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and bone injuries in patients with sports-related knee injuries. Diagnostic performance will be evaluated using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy.
Time frame: At the time of MRI examination (single assessment during the study visit).
Distribution and characterization of sports-related knee injuries on MRI
The study will evaluate the patterns and types of MRI-detected knee injuries, including ACL, PCL, collateral ligament, meniscal, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and bone injuries, as well as associated findings such as joint effusion and Baker cyst.
Time frame: At the time of MRI examination (single assessment during the study visit).

Started Jul 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 11 months after the start.
Of 30 observational studies under Knee Injuries, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 56. This study's planned 11 months is below that.
