Abstract
The results of clinical, arthrographic and arthroscopic examination in the group of 120 patients with suspected meniscal lesion have been compared. In the clinical examination the McMurray and the Apley tests revealed a good correlation with meniscal tears. Arthrography was found to be in accordance with arthroscopy in 62%. The results were falsely negative in 15% and falsely positive in 25% of patients respectively.
