Abstract
Objective: To describe the characteristic figures and to assess the value of MRI in detemining meniscal tears. Subject and method: 54 patients with injured knee treated at 103 Military Hospital and Vietduc Hospital from Jan. 2018 to Apr. 2019. The findings on MRI were documented. Compare result of meniscal tears on MRI with those on arthroscopy by table 2 × 2. Result: The sensitivity and specificity of MRI in findings medial meniscus tear and lateral meniscus tear were 73.7%, 82.8% and 71.4%, 85%, respectively. Detecting subtypes of meniscal tear, MRI had sensitivity 85.7%, specificity 96.8% for longitudinal tear, sensitivity 70%, specificity 95.9% for horizontal tear, sensitivity 66.7%, specificity 98.1% for radial tear and sensitivity 50%, specificity 97.1% for complex tear. Conclusion: MR image is useful for determining meniscal tears.
