“…However, the availability of high-frequency high-resolution linear transducers for sonographic detection of peripheral meniscal and parameniscal pathology has made not only the diagnosis but also the treatment of symptomatic parameniscal cysts a more accessible option. One study using high-resolution ultrasonography has shown a sensitivity of 97%, specificity of 86%, and accuracy of 94% with negative (NPV) and positive predictive values (PPV) 94% and 92%, respectively, in the sonographic detection of meniscal cysts [1]. Another study showed a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 94%, 100%, 100%, and 94%, respectively, in the sonographic detection of parameniscal cysts [3].…”
