Figure 2 (A) Maximum knee flexion in lateral decubitus position magnetic resonance imaging examination of knee joint: the knee joint of the affected side in side position with maximum flexion with the coil tightly wrapped around the knee joint. (B) After additional special position scanning, the tear site showed high signal, which was diagnosed as a chronic partial tear of anterior cruciate ligament. It was confirmed by arthroscopy. (C) After additional special position scanning, the joint effusion or hemorrhage was squeezed away from the ligament tear site.
