| Abstract: | OBJECTIVES:To assess the validity of ultrasound in the diagnosis of medial knee injuries in comparison with MRI findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a prospective study. Prospective patients with clinically suspected medial knee injuries scheduled for MRI of the knee wereevaluated by Ultrasound examination prior to the MRI. Sonographic findings were thencompared to MRI results. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive study with diagnostic test evaluation. STUDY PERIOD: January 2020 to June 2021 STUDY SETTING: Department of Radiodiagnosis and Department of Orthopaedics, Govt. T D medical college Alappuzha - A tertiary care centre in Kerala. STUDY POPULATION: Patients attending the department of Orthopaedics and referred to department of Radiodiagnosis of T.D. Medical College Alappuzha, who were clinically suspected to have medial knee injury, during the study period. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 60 patients were enrolled in the study. 73.3% of the study population were males (44) and most of them belonged in their 2nd and 3rd decades. Most of the injuries were left sided [ 60%] and majority [65%] presented for radiological evaluation within 1 week to 1 month of history of injury. Accuracy of ultrasound in the diagnosis of MCL and MM injuries were 86.7% and 85% respectively.US demonstrated 89.6% sensitivity and 75% specificity formedial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries and 85.3% sensitivity and 84.6% specificity formedial meniscus (MM)tears.The most frequent knee finding in this study was jointeffusion which was seen in 50(83.3%) patients. CONCLUSION USG gives high accuracy and specificity in the detection of MCL and MM injuries.Ultrasound may have a role as the initial rapid imaging modality in patients with suspected MCL or medial meniscus injuries and it may serve as an effectivelow-costscreening tool for patients with MM or MCL injuries and avoid performing the high cost MRI. |
