Physical Examinations for Diagnosing Meniscal Injuries: Correlation with Surgical Findings
OBJECTIVE A set of five maneuvers for meniscal injuries (McMurray, Apley, Childress and Steinmann 1 and 2) was evaluated and their sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and likelihood were calculated. The same methods were applied to each test individually. METHODS One hundred and fifty-two patients of both sexes who were going to undergo videoarthroscopy on the knee were examined blindly by one...
متن کاملSurgical treatment for meniscal injuries of the knee in adults.
BACKGROUND Injuries to the knee menisci are common and operations to treat them are among the most common procedures performed by orthopaedic surgeons. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of common surgical interventions in the treatment of meniscal injuries of the knee. The four comparisons under test were: a) surgery versus conservative treatment, b) partial versus total meniscectomy, c) exc...
متن کاملAlternative treatments for meniscal injuries.
Historical review. “By arterial injection with an opaque medium, one can discern a network of fine vessels from the capsule, entering the convex border of the meniscus but disappearing almost immediately. Because of this, one might expect healing in peripheral meniscus detachments, but none in tears limited to the semilunar cartilage itself”. These were the opening sentences of King’s paper at ...
متن کاملEvaluation of clinical tests and magnetic resonance imaging for knee meniscal injuries: correlation with video arthroscopy☆
OBJECTIVE To determine the specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, likelihood, and correlation of the findings of meniscal tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to knee video arthroscopy. METHODS A cross-sectional study, conducted between June and December 2015, which evaluated 84 patients with meniscal tears (MT) selected for video arthroscopy. Two orthopedic trainees and a resident perform...
متن کاملPosterior meniscal root injuries
- Meniscal root tears (MRTs) are defined as radial tears within 1 cm of the meniscal root insertion, or an avulsion of the insertion of the meniscus. These injuries change joint loading due to failure of the meniscus to convert axial loads into hoop stresses, resulting in joint overloading and degenerative changes in the knee. Meniscal root repair is recommended in patients without advanced ost...
