Magnetic resonance imaging can increase the diagnostic accuracy in symptomatic meniscal repair patients

ConclusionA supplementary MRI will increase diagnostic accuracy when fewer than three clinical findings are present in a symptomatic meniscal repair patient. The clinical relevance of this finding is that MRI contributes to enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of an unhealed meniscal repair when there are limited clinical signs of meniscal pathology.Level of evidenceIII.
