Observational analysis shows high sensitivity of MRI for ACL and meniscal tears in 83 patients, suggesting it may enhance diagnostic accuracy.

The study found that MRI demonstrates a sensitivity of 96.6% for anterior cruciate ligament tears, indicating its reliability as a diagnostic tool.
For medial meniscus tears, the sensitivity was 98%, while the specificity averaged 92%, confirming MRI's diagnostic strength across all injury types.
Analysis included 83 patients undergoing clinical examination, MRI, and arthroscopy, with results showing high overall accuracy for identifying knee injuries.
These findings underline the potential to use MRI routinely for diagnosing knee injuries, particularly to guide future therapeutic arthroscopy.
