  • Title: Arthroscopy and arthrography of the knee: a critical review.
    Author: Ireland J, Trickey EL, Stoker DJ.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1980 Feb; 62-B(1):3-6. PubMed ID: 7351432.
    Abstract:
    A series of 135 knee arthroscopies has been reviewed to determine the accuracy of detection of meniscal lesions. Arthroscopy and double-contrast arthrography achieved similar accuracy (84 per cent and 86 per cent) in the diagnostically more difficult knees of the series. The combined accuracy of both examinations was 98 per cent. Arthroscopic difficulty in seeing the posterior third of the medial meniscus, and consequently tears in this region, is emphasised and discussed. Arthroscopy and arthrography are complementary in the diagnosis of difficult meniscal problems.
