==Diagnosis== Segond and reverse Segond fractures are characterized by a small avulsion,<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Campos JC, Chung CB, Lektrakul N, etal |title=Pathogenesis of the Segond fracture: anatomic and MR imaging evidence of an iliotibial tract or anterior oblique band avulsion |journal=Radiology |volume=219 |issue=2 |pages=381β6 |year=2001 |pmid=11323461 |doi=10.1148/radiology.219.2.r01ma23381}}</ref> or "chip", fragment of characteristic size that is best seen on plain [[radiography]] in the [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior-posterior]] plane. The avulsed fragment of bone may be very difficult to see on the plain [[x-ray]] exam, and may be better seen on [[computed tomography]]. [[MRI]] may be useful for visualization of the associated [[Trabecular oedema|bone marrow edema]] of the underlying tibial plateau on fat-saturated T2W and STIR images, as well as the associated findings of ligamentous and/or meniscal injury.{{cn|date=October 2020}}
