Meniscus examination method of knee joint

The purpose of 1 X-ray examination is not to diagnose meniscus tear, but to exclude osteochondral detachment, osteochondritis exfoliative and other knee joint diseases that may be similar to meniscus tear. Arthrography is a valuable auxiliary means to analyze knee joint diseases. However, due to modern MRI and other non-invasive and high-precision inspection methods, contrast technology has been rarely used at present.

2.MRI is the imaging examination method with the highest sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosing meniscus injury and cruciate ligament rupture, with an accuracy rate of 98%. Meniscus tear's MRI showed low signal intensity in the meniscus, and linear or complex high signal bands crossed the surface of the meniscus.

Other imaging diagnostic methods, such as high-resolution ultrasound and high-resolution CT, are also helpful for the diagnosis of diseases in the knee joint.

3. Arthroscopy is recognized as the most ideal method for diagnosis and surgical treatment of meniscus injury. But arthroscopy should not be a routine examination method in meniscus tear.
