Abstract
Aim of Work: To assess medial meniscus extrusion using ultasonography (US), on supine and weight-bearing positions, as a sign of underlying meniscal tears using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as reference standard.Patients and Methods: This observational analytic prospective study included 103 patients; 48 females and 55 males, with ages between 18-70 years. The measured values of the medial meniscal extrusion on supine and weight-bearing positions obtained from the ultrasonograpic examination, were correlated to the MRI diagnosis of tears.The included patients were classified into two groups according to the MRI: those with meniscal tears and those without meniscal tears.Statistical analysis was performed for the obtained measurements for both groups and P-value <0.05 was considered significant; ROC curve was done to reach a cut-off value for extrusion as a sign of medial meniscus tear
