Prospective cohort study compares diagnostic performance of ultrasound and MRI for meniscal tears, indicating MRI is more effective.

MRI accuracy for meniscal tear detection reached 91.83%, significantly higher than ultrasound at 84.62%.
Ultrasound showed lower sensitivity and specificity compared to MRI, indicating it might miss some complex tear patterns.
Prospective cohort study involved 208 patients aged 18 to 60 years suspected of meniscal injuries assessed with US and MRI.
Findings support MRI as a more reliable imaging technique for detecting meniscal tears over ultrasound.

Noorelahi et al. (2025) studied this question.
