Abstract

Abstract : The knee joint is the second largest joint in the human body, with a wide range of functional activities and strong support for the human body. Moreover, the cartilage of the knee joint is hyaline cartilage, which is relatively brittle, so it is most vulnerable to trauma. In clinical work, the damage of articular cartilage is a disease with a high rate of orthopedic visits. In this paper, all the experimental group cases included in the observation were patients with acute articular cartilage injury or OA diagnosed by knee arthroscopy. All experimental groups and control groups did not have any strenuous exercise one day before MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and they sat for 30 minutes before the examination. Conventional scanning sagittal FSE-T1WI, FSE-T2WI, FS-FSE-T1WI, FS-FSE-T2WI, FS-PDWI, and coronal FS-PDWI sequence. In the normal control group, after the T 2 color map was generated in the workstation, the articular cartilage was divided on the midsagittal plane, and the patellar cartilage and tibial plateau were roughly divided into upper, middle, lower and anterior, middle, and posterior thirds. In order to ensure the maximum comparability of the results, an artificial intelligence segmentation algorithm is used to divide the region of interest equally, and the central part of each partition is selected as much as possible for measurement. The T 2 values of the three partitions of each cartilage were measured one by one and averaged. For the comparison results of T 2 value of cartilage in the same part: according to patellar cartilage, femoral cartilage, and tibial cartilage, the P values are 0.973, 0.150, and 0.525, respectively. Therefore, early detection and early treatment of articular cartilage injury are of great significance to the performance of athletes' competition level and the extension of sports life.
