Comparison of MRI versus Arthroscopy in Assessment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries of The Knee Keeping Arthroscopy as Gold Standard

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings and Arthroscopy in diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, using as gold standard. Methodology: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from February to August 2019. Clinical evidence ACL injury present 127 individuals. They had an MRI well arthroscopy. The diagnostic efficacy for tears evaluated, its sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, accuracy were all calculated. Comparisons arthroscopic magnetic resonance imaging yielded three classifications: True Positive (MRI verified by Arthroscopy), Negative (both negative injury), False Positive/False (differences Arthroscopy). inspection entered into SPSS 23 software tabulation analysis. When necessary, both descriptive inferential statistics used. Results: performed on patients, either or therapeutic purposes. A found when data analyzed tabulated. majority patients males (85.8%) second third decades life. injuries 89.89%, 64.28%, 84.25%, respectively. Conclusion: is accurate non-invasive modality assessing tears, showing good high sensitivity. However, remains standard injuries.
