Acute rotational trauma to the knee: poor agreement between clinical assessment and magnetic resonance imaging findings

Objectives: To determine the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in the general population; the pathology associated with a knee sprain verified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); and the agreement between clinical findings and MRI.
