Retrospective study of meniscus lesions

Abstract

From Nov. 1977 to Oct. 1979, meniscus lesions were diagnosed in 61 knees by means of clinical symptoms and signs. In all cases both arthrographic and arthroscopic examinations were performed, and in some cases explorative arthrotomies were done. Meniscectomies were done in 50 knees. Retrospective observation of arthrograms revealed some abnormal findings that had been overlooked before.
