Lariat sign: An MRI finding associated with common peroneal nerve rupture

Traumatic knee dislocation represents a catastrophic orthopedic injury with potentially devastating vascular and neurologic injuries. We report a case of common peroneal nerve rupture sustained during a knee dislocation with novel radiographic findings that we describe as a lariat sign. At the site...

description Traumatic knee dislocation represents a catastrophic orthopedic injury with potentially devastating vascular and neurologic injuries. We report a case of common peroneal nerve rupture sustained during a knee dislocation with novel radiographic findings that we describe as a lariat sign. At the site of rupture, the distal nerve loops back on itself forming a lasso shape or lariat. This thickened nerve's abnormal course should not be misinterpreted as a vessel.
