MENISCUS TEAR MRI KNEE
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- In a Normal meniscus the superior and inferior halves should be symmetric.
- In all three cases there is localised loss of ” volume” of the meniscus.
- This gives the meniscus an asymmetric look.
- Asymmetry in a meniscus is always abnormal and we need to look further to work out why.
THE MAIN TAKE AWAY ON FINDING MISSING MENISCI
- Meniscal tears are not just linear.
- Absence of a portion of a meniscus is also a tear.
- Know the normal appearance of different parts of the meniscus.
- Then look harder at any areas of asymmetry.
