Abstract in brief

The study examined the knee MRIs of 17 asymptomatic college basketball players before their season to identify non-symptomatic findings, revealing various abnormalities such as bone marrow edema, cartilage signal issues, joint effusions, and some meniscal variations.
The findings indicated that a significant number of these athletes had MRI-detected knee changes, including bone marrow edema (41%), joint effusions (35%), and patellar tendon signals (24%), despite showing no symptoms.
These results suggest that high-level basketball players may commonly have MRI-detectable knee abnormalities that are asymptomatic, highlighting the importance of understanding normal imaging variations in this athletic population.]
