Abstract
The value of double contrast arthrography in meniscal lesions was studied in 58 patients with clinical findings suggestive of meniscal lesion. In all cases, arthrotomy was performed and meniscal lesions were found in 52 patients. The arthrographic findings were compared to clinical and operative findings and the following results were obtained. 1. The diagnostic accuracy of arthrography in meniscal lesions was 84.5% 2. The diagnostic accuracy of the clinical findings was 69%, but the accuracy was increased to 91.4% with the aid of arthrographic findings. 3. Arthrography would be unnecessary if the clinical findings highly suggest the meniscal lesion. 4. Arthrography is thought to be a useful diagnostic method for meniscal lesions.
