21 yr old female with skiing injury and pain shows subtle, ill defined opacity in relation to the lat tibial condyle with no definite donor site and asymmetrical tibial plateau- segonds fracture is possible and MR is needed for ruling out associated injures including ACL tear
Points of interest
Also called “lateral capsular sign”
It refers to Middle lateral capsular ligament injury
Lateral capsular ligament has anterior(from patella or patellar tendon to ilio- tibial band), middle (between ilio-tibial band and fibular collateral ligament), and posterior section(fibular collateral ligament to posterior cruciate ligament)
Skiing, Basket ball and baseball games associated with this
Associated bony injuries include tibial eminence (ACL att), fibular head,etc
Usually associated with ACL Tear(100%)
Tunnel view is better if AP projection is doubtful
Gerdy tubercle of tibia for insertion of Iliotibial band, along with fibular collateral ligament calcification are differential
Usually parallel to tibia long axis and vertical with about 2-10 mm below the tibial plateau and is few mm in size

Dear Dr
I, Dr. Raj G Bumiya, have completed MBBS from MS University of Baroda,INDIA in 2010
I am pursuing M.D.(Radiodiagnosis - 3 yrs residency ). I would be completing my M.D.from MS University of Baroda,INDIA in April 2013.
According to my understanding of rules and regulations of FRCR I can appear for the FIRST FRCR exams in September 2013.
Below mentioned are few queries which I need to clarify before appearing for an exam :-
1) whether I can appear for FIRST FRCR exams in September 2013 or do I need any experience after MD ?
2) Do I need to clear IELTS or/and GMC exams before appearing for FRCR exams (both FIRST AND FINAL EXAMINATIONS) ?
3) Any other eligibility required before appearing for an FRCR exam ( both FIRST and FINAL Exam )?
4) Which documents has to be attached with the Application form for FIRST FRCR examination?
Kindly guide me through the above queries.
Looking for a positive response from your side.
In case if you require any further information please let me know.
Thanking You,
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Raj Bumiya.
