Abstract

We compared the diagnostic and predictive value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical findings with arthroscopy in 61 knees in a prospective study. In meniscal tears, the accuracy and positive predictive value of MRI was found to be nearly twice that of clinical examination. The sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of MRI were comparable to the figures found in other studies. We recommend MRI as a clarifying diagnostic tool when a clinical examination indicates a lesion of the meniscus. In our study, the clinical relevance of MRI in anterior cruciate ligament lesions and especially in cartilage lesions was more doubtful. The combination of clinical and MRI findings would reduce the number of blank arthroscopies to 5%. MRI is a valuable diagnostic tool in planning the type of anesthesia and treatment, and could significantly reduce the need for a second arthroscopy.
