Clinical, MRI findings and arthroscopic correlation of the meniscal injuries of the knee
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The knee joint being very commonly injured secondary to road traffic accidents contact sports activities and repetitive activities in such cases especially in acute conditions its difficult to rely to arrive at a accurate clinical diagnosis depending only on the clinical tests to diagnose meniscal injuries because of the painful knee so the patient is subjected to many noninvasive imaging modalities like xray sonography and magnetic resonance imaging and later invasive procedures like diagnostic arthroscopy to detect the proper diagnosis So we conducted a prospective in JSS hospital study to compare all the three modalities like clinical examination MR imaging and diagnostic arthroscopy to know the meniscal injuries of the knee joint There were 30 patients with 26 male and 4 female patients age ranging from 18 to 55 years History of fall with twisting injury was most common The sensitivity and specificity of clinical examination and MR imaging with respect to arthroscopy was 833 and 7778 and 9167 and 5556 respectively So diagnosing meniscal injuries is of great significance to decrease the morbidity of the patientKeywords Clinical examination MRI Arthroscopy Meniscal injuries
