Magnetic resonance imaging vs. arthroscopy in diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus injuries - is there a difference

Introduction/Objective. The knee joint is prone to injuries caused by direct or indirect trauma. meniscus and ligament injuries, cannot be completely diagnosed with clinical examination; therefore, we use additional non-invasive invasive diagnostic methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) arthroscopy. aim was compare the accuracy of MRI objective findings based on arthroscopic examination in case anterior cruciate injuries. Methods. study involved 50 patients treated elective surgery which mandatory visualization structures. We compared findings, obtained from different institutions, for all study. Results. There were included mean age 31 years. showed that Anterior damaged 41 patients, while arthroscopy confirmed damage 43 patients. Medial 27 examination. Lateral injured 35 32 Using ?2 test found no significant difference between methods. Wilcoxon signed-rank shows similar results findings. Conclusion. A comparative analysis value ligament, medial lateral have shown there these two
