Abstract
Trabecular lines through the proximal tibia in line with the direction of the anterior cruciate ligament are visible in around two-thirds of standard knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. We descr ibe their appearances and postulate that these lines may develop in re sponse to stresses transmitted via the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL ).
