[Correlation between arthrography and intraoperative findings in knee meniscus lesion (author's transl)].

The diagnosis of knee meniscus lesion as a result of clinical findings has a relatively high rate of failure. The arthrography of the knee joint is a low risk method of examination which is not burdening the patient. Arthrography compared with intraoperative findings shows a correlation of 97,0% in 132 operations performed. This testifies evidently the high diagnostic value of this radiological examination. It facilitates that decision to perform an arthrotomy in cases, clinical findings are not clear enough.
