“…In the 15 studies where it was stated the mean age of the cohorts was 38.5 (SD 10.4) [ 102 – 104 , 108 , 110 – 113 , 115 – 121 ]. Mean time from injury to imaging was not stated in 14 studies [ 102 – 104 , 106 – 109 , 111 , 113 – 115 , 117 , 119 , 120 ]. In the six studies where this was stated [ 110 , 112 , 116 , 118 , 119 , 121 ], it ranged from 3.3 days [ 112 ] to 6 months [ 110 ].…”

“…Two studies did not report on who performed and reviewed the ultrasound images [ 113 , 118 ]. In the 18 studies where this was reported, 16 studies recorded a radiologist performed and interpreted the images [ 102 – 109 , 111 , 112 , 114 – 117 , 119 , 120 ] and in two studies a non-radiologist performed and interpreted the images [ 110 , 121 ]. The non-radiologists were a sonographer and a physician [ 110 , 121 ].…”

Musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound imaging (MSK-DUSI) has been growing outside the traditional radiology speciality. Increased use of this technology has been reported in several healthcare settings, however an apparent gap in the knowledge of the accuracy of this diagnostic technology indicated a review was warranted. We undertook a structured review of the literature to assess the accuracy of MSK-DUSI for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal soft tissue pathology of the extremities. An electronic search of the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed database (1972 to mid-2014) was conducted. All relevant systematic reviews of diagnostic studies, all diagnostic studies published after the date of the latest systematic reviews and relevant diagnostic studies outside the scope the systematic reviews that directly compared the accuracy of MSK-DUSI (the index test) to an appropriate reference standard for the target condition were included. A fundamental appraisal of the methodological quality of studies was completed. The individual sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratio data were extracted and entered into diagnostic accuracy tables. A total of 207 individual studies were included. The results show that MSK-DUSI has acceptable diagnostic accuracy for a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions of the extremities. However, there is a lack of high quality prospective experimental studies in this area and as such clinicians should interpret the results with some caution due to the potential for overestimation of diagnostic accuracy.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12998-015-0076-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Rutten et al [ 11 ] demonstrated the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ultrasound in the depiction of meniscal cysts as 97, 86, and 94%, respectively, with a positive predictive value of 94% and a negative predictive value of 92%. Sorrentino et al found that high-resolution ultrasound had a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 94.23%, 100%, 100%, and 94.54%, respectively, for the detection of meniscal cysts [ 12 ].…”

Diagnosis and Treatment of a Lateral Meniscal Cyst with Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

Meniscal cysts are a relatively uncommon occurrence that may result in pain and disability in the knee. It is widely believed that meniscal cysts are secondary to fluid extrusion from a meniscus tear. Typically, diagnosis of a meniscal cyst typically requires magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to delineate the cyst and any associated injuries. With improvements in sonographic technology, ultrasound has emerged as a sensitive modality for detection of meniscal cysts. We present a patient with a contraindication to MRI who was diagnosed with a lateral meniscal cyst by musculoskeletal ultrasound and treated with an ultrasound-guided lateral meniscal cyst aspiration and injection.

“…The more common consensus among authors is that meniscal cysts are far more frequently encountered laterally at an incidence of 75% to 90% [1]. This may be in part related to the relative weakness of the lateral meniscocapsular attachments when compared to the more tightly adherent medial meniscocapsular junction [3]. According to one study, lateral meniscal cysts tend to occur just anterior to the lateral collateral ligament, through a region of inherent weakness, and are more likely to reach a larger size [3].…”

According to one study, lateral meniscal cysts tend to occur just anterior to the lateral collateral ligament, through a region of inherent weakness, and are more likely to reach a larger size [3]. In contrast, medial meniscal cysts are thought to be confined with limited expansion by firmer meniscocapsular tissue, only reaching larger sizes after violating the capsule and potentially extending for some distance from the meniscus [1].…”

Imaging-Guided Treatment of Meniscal Cysts

Meniscal and parameniscal pathology is usually diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging. The availability of high-frequency high-resolution linear transducers for sonographic detection of peripheral meniscal and parameniscal pathology has made not only the diagnosis but also the treatment of symptomatic parameniscal cysts a more accessible option. This case report illustrates the use of sonographically guided meniscal cyst aspiration and injection as an alternative to surgical treatment in the proper clinical scenario.
