Abstract
In brief MRI can prove diagnostically brief useful for a number of osseous injuries that active patients may incur. The authors weigh the benefits of MRI, such as early injury detection and excellent contrast and spatial resolution, versus its shortcomings, such as high cost and sensitivity to motion. In addition, they describe in detail the MRI appearances of stress fractures, bone bruises, occult fractures, and osteochondral fractures.Keywords
