Diagnostic accuracy of MRI in internal derangement of knee in comparison to arthroscopy MRI vs Arthroscopy in knee injury

Abstract

Background: The knee joint (KJ) is one of the largest as well as most complicated joints in the human body. The knee is one of the most frequently injured joints, either as a separated injury or as a common portion in patients with multiple traumas. MRI has completely transformed the field of radio diagnosis because it provides superior soft tissue (ST) contrast. Also, it has appeared to be highly useful in muscle, brain, abdominal, and soft tissue imaging. The MRI is non-invasive which provides significantly better ST contrast, and requires less imaging time while having fewer artefacts. Aims & Objectives: To compare the accuracy of diagnostic [True Positive (TP), True Negative (TN), False Positive (FP), as well as False Negative (FN)] of MRI & arthroscopy in diagnosing internal derangement (ID) of the knee. To determine the function of MRI in selecting patients for arthroscopy. Material and Methods: This research is a cross-sectional investigation wherein patients who were thought to have an internal knee dislocation (IKD) were given an MRI and some were chosen for an arthroscopy. Most MRIs were done on a 1.5 tesla MRI scanner. The results of the MRI were written down.
