Feasibility and efficacy of ultrasound in the diagnosis of discoid lateral meniscus and its classification in children: protocol for a prospective, multicentre, diagnostic test study
Abstract:IntroductionAlthough ultrasound can reportedly diagnose discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) in children, its widespread application is challenging because the diagnostic criteria are based on qualitative descriptions of DLM morphology rather than quantitative parameters. Additionally, no studies have applied ultrasound in classifying DLM. Therefore, this study aims to establish the quantitative ultrasound parameters that reflect DLM morphology, evaluate the feasibility and validity of these parameters for identifyi… Show more
