Background: Knee pain is one of the most common problems faced by people from time immemorial. There is a wide range of disease ranging from traumatic to degenerative causing knee pain in which articular cartilage is involved. Over the past 15 years, MRI has become the premier, first-line imaging study that should be performed in the evaluation of the painful knee in particular in tears of menisci, cruciate and collateral ligaments, osteochondral abnormalities (chondromalacia, osteoarthritis and osteochondral defects), synovial cysts and bone bruises. MRI, by virtue of its superior soft-tissue contrast, lack of ionizing radiation and multiplanar capabilities, is superior to more conventional techniques for the evaluation of articular cartilage. Aim: The goal of this study to investigate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in various knee disorders to minimize the risk of secondary complications by early detection of the pathology. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out on 50 patients in the Medcare International Hospital, Gujranwala. Age between 15 to 50, all diagnosed patients with knee disorders and both males and female were selected, exclusion was set to be those with previous history of surgery of the same knee, Un diagnosed patient and patient with other co morbidities, metabolic disease and other systemic problems beside those using drugs. MRI was performed with Siemens 1.5 Tesla machine. Results: In our study of 50 patients with knee pain and the age range between14 to 70 years old were included, male participants were 62% and female participants 38%. 46% of the participant were responded with no for knee pain, 94.0% of the participant were responded with no joint stiffness, 60% of the participant were responded with no for soft tissue swelling, 38% of the participant were responded with no for ACL tear. Conclusion: In conclusion, individual with acute or chronic knee pain without any definite history of trauma should be sub
