This study introduces a dynamic ultrasound technique for knee meniscus assessment, improving accuracy in detecting tears. This method aids in early diagnosis and treatment planning for knee injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Meniscal tears are common knee injuries.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Traditional sonography has limitations in meniscus assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an improved dynamic sonographic examination technique for knee menisci.
  • To enhance sonoanatomic imaging and orientation for better meniscus visualization.
  • To reduce misinterpretation of meniscal tears.

Main Methods:

  • A dynamic examination technique using a 7.5 MHz sector transducer with a water or PVC pad attachment.
  • Scanning the anterior horn and pars intermedia of the meniscus.
  • Comparing sonographic findings with arthroscopic results in 60 patients.

Main Results:

  • Improved sonoanatomic imaging and orientation reduce misinterpretation.
  • Dynamic examination facilitates diagnosis of meniscal tears from echogenic torn surfaces.
  • Detection rate of meniscal tears was 76.7%, with a 90.0% rate for ruling out tears.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamic sonography of the meniscus is a suitable method for ruling out lesions, especially with unclear clinical findings.
  • The technique allows for immediate therapeutic measures, preventing secondary damage.
  • Specific tear shapes like longitudinal and bucket-handle tears are ideally diagnosed.
