Background:

Meniscal abnormalities are common knee injuries.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the diagnostic accuracy of double-contrast knee arthrography for meniscal abnormalities.
To highlight the importance of understanding tear types and associated conditions.

Main Methods:

Double-contrast knee arthrography was performed.
Careful attention was paid to positioning, filming, and interpretation.
Evaluation included various meniscal tear types, meniscal cysts, and discoid menisci.
