    Arthrography remains valuable for diagnosing knee meniscal lesions, even with arthroscopic surgery. This study compares arthrogram accuracy to arthroscopic findings, presenting an algorithm to guide their respective roles.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Arthroscopic surgery has advanced knee diagnosis.
    • The diagnostic utility of arthrography requires re-evaluation in this context.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of arthrography compared to arthroscopy.
    • To define the complementary roles of arthrography and arthroscopy in knee evaluation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of arthrographic data from 240 knees.
    • Comparison of arthrographic findings with subsequent arthroscopic surgical results.
    • Evaluation of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for meniscal lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Arthrography demonstrates reasonable accuracy for detecting meniscal lesions.

  • Sensitivity and specificity metrics were calculated for arthrographic diagnoses.
  • An algorithm was developed to delineate the optimal use of each diagnostic modality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arthrography retains a role in the diagnostic workup of knee conditions, particularly for meniscal tears.
    • The proposed algorithm aids in selecting the appropriate imaging technique for knee pathology.
    • Integrating arthrography and arthroscopy optimizes diagnostic yield and patient management.
