“…Apley compression test when used in isolation has got low sensitivity and positive predictive value but sensitivity is very close to findings of Karachalios et al [10] Tenderness of joint line test has high specificity and negative predictive value in lateral menisci injuries in this series. Rose [14] found much higher sensitivity and rest pretty close to our observation.…”

Medical technology sometimes obscures the importance of history taking and clinical examination, though in reality history and clinical methods are indispensable part of any patient management. In this prospective cohort study in age group between 15 and 65 years, we have compared between clinical, MRI, and arthroscopic findings in respect to menisci injuries and searched whether negative MRI findings can lead to denial of arthroscopy in suspected menisci injuries. All the patients undergone a clinical battery of tests. Subsequently MRI has been done on all the 40 subjects, and finally arthroscopy has been done. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of each individual test were calculated and compared with the results of MRI. For medial meniscus injury clinical diagnostic accuracy-80% and MRI diagnostic accuracy is 82.5%.For lateral meniscus injury clinical diagnosis has diagnostic accuracy 75% and MRI has got diagnostic accuracy of 82.5%. Level of evidence-Level-IV.

“…In a study by Osman (4) with 54 knees to validate joint line tenderness, the sensitivity, specificity, postitive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy found to be 86%, 67%, 59%, 90% and 74% respectively.The author concluded that the test is inferior in identifying medial meniscus tear in comparison to lateral meniscus. Similarly, in a study by Rose RE (8), the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were found to be 92%, 78.48%, 73% 93% and 83.72% respectively. Wadey et al (9) in their study with 71 patients showed the sensitivity of 84.6%, specificity of 31.2%, positive predictive value 60% and negative predictive value of 62.5%.…”

Ante la sospecha de una lesión meniscal el clínico precisa de la realización de una exploración física minuciosa para orientar adecuadamente la solicitud de pruebas complementarias y el tratamiento de cada paciente. Hay descritas muchas maniobras funcionales y mecánicas, para reproducir los síntomas asociados a la lesión meniscal, pero ninguna de ellas es patognomónica, y muchas veces es preciso combinarlas para obtener el máximo rendimiento de la exploración física. En la presente revisión bibliográfica describimos las diferentes maniobras descritas para la exploración física de la lesión meniscal, revisamos el rendimiento diagnóstico de cada una de ellas y proponemos una sistemática de exploración, compuesta por las pruebas más rentables, que facilitará al clínico la toma de decisiones ante la sospecha de una lesión meniscal.
