Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the additional value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the knee joint of patients with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) type 2 compared with conventional radiographic examination. Methods: Six individuals with MED (mean age 12.7 years) underwent investigation of their knee joints with conventional radiography and MRI. Results: As in conventional radiographs, MRI images showed irregular and delayed ossification of the epiphyses; articular cartilage had a normal appearance. Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging did not reveal specific abnormalities in patients with MED type 2 compared with conventional radiographs. The indications for MRI in patients with MED are the same as in patients without this condition.
