Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Meniscal Tears of the Knee.
In brief: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). has become a standard diagnostic technique in many medical facilities for evaluating the menisci of the knee. MRI provides superior soft-tissue contrast with high resolution and takes little time (typically less than 30 minutes). It does not require intra-articular contrast media and is not limited to surface abnormalities, as are arthrography and art...
متن کاملMeniscal tears
The menisci are two semilunar-shaped fibrocartilagenous structures, which are interposed between the femoral condyles and tibial plateaux. They have an important role in knee function. Long-term follow-up studies showed that virtually all meniscectomized knees develop arthritic changes with time. The meniscus has functions in load bearing, load transmission, shock absorption, joint stability, j...
متن کاملCausation Review - Meniscal Tears. Classification Of Meniscal Tears Of The Knee And The Evidence That Certain Tears Are Degenerative In Origin; Including The Relationship Of Meniscal Tears To Knee Osteoarthritis
This causation review summarises information on the classification of meniscal tears of the knee and the outlines the evidence that certain tears are often degenerative in origin. It is not intended to replace clinical judgement, or be used as a clinical protocol. A reasonable attempt has been made to find and review papers relevant to the focus of this report but it is not exhaustive. The cont...
متن کاملAnatomical Knee Variants in Discoid Lateral Meniscal Tears
BACKGROUND Discoid lateral meniscus was a common meniscal dysplasia and was predisposed to tear. There were some anatomical knee variants in patients with discoid lateral meniscus. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between anatomical knee variants and discoid lateral meniscal tears. METHODS There were totally 125 cases of discoid lateral meniscus enrolled in this study fro...
متن کاملKnee MRI: Meniscal Tears and Postoperative Cartilage Imaging
Currently magnetic resonance (MR) is the modality of choice for assessing the meniscus with reported accuracies, sensitivities, and specificities ranging between 85% to 95% in detecting meniscal tears. Once a tear is identified, it is imperative not only to localize the tear, but to describe the tear pattern, extent, and any associated chondrosis to guide treatment options for the referring phy...
