Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to test the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MR1) evaluation by a group who were blinded to the arthroscopic diagnosis in patients with known bucket handle meniscal tears.Patients and methods: In this study, MRI scans of 28 patients who were operated due to bucket handle meniscal tear with sufficient documentation were evaluated. Radiographic evaluation was performed by two different groups, including an orthopedist and radiologist. In the first group, evaluation of MRI scans was performed by the specialists who were aware of the arthroscopic diagnosis and marked the defined MRI signs of bucket handle meniscal tear. In the second group, evaluation was done, remaining blinded to the diagnosis, with only initial complaints at admission. The second group also evaluated the MRI scans and marked the pathologic signs. The sensitivity of radiological signs marked by both groups was compared. Invariables were found using blinded evaluation. Results: Double posterior cruciate ligament and free fragment in the intercondylar notch were invariable sensitivities found in the MRI scans by blinded evaluation. The sensitivity of coronal truncation, anterior flip and any free fragment signs were significantly decreased in the setting of blinded evaluation.Conclusion: Preoperative differentiation of reparable bucket-handle tears from irreparable is of utmost importance. As meniscal repair improves knee stability and functional results, surgical repair of meniscal injuries particularly in younger individuals who are scheduled for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction have a positive effect on clinical outcomes.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, diz ekleminde kova sapı menisküs yırtığı olduğu bilinen hastalarda ameliyat öncesi manyetik rezonans görüntülemenin (MRG), artroskopik tanıyı bilmeyen bir grup tarafından değerlendirilmesinin etkinliğini ölçüldü.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Bu çalışmada diz ekleminde kova sapı menisküs yırtığı nedeniyle cerrahi olarak tedavi edilmiş ve kayıtları yeterli olan 28 hastanın MRG görüntüleri kullanıldı. Radyografık değerlendirme, ortopedi ve radyoloji uzmanından oluşan iki grup tarafından yapıldı. Birinci grup, artroskopik tanıyı bilerek, MRG taramalarını inceledi ve tanımlanmış olan kova sapı menisküs yırtığı MRG bulgularını işaretledi. İkinci gruba ise, değerlendirme öncesinde hastanın yalnızca başvuru yakınmaları bildirildi. İkinci grup da MRG taramalarını inceledi ve patolojik bulguları işaretledi. Her iki grupta saplanan radyolojik bulguların hassasiyeti karşılaştırıldı. Kör değerlendirme ile değişmezler belirlendi.Bulgular: Kör değerlendirme ile MRG taramalarında bulunan. hassasiyeti değişmeyen bulgular çift arka çapraz bağ ve interkoııdiler çentik içinde serbest fragman idi. Koronal trunkasyon, anteriyor kayma ve herhangi bir serbest fragman bulgularının fark edilme oranı, artroskopik tanı bilinmediğinde, ciddi oranda azaldı.Sonuç: Kova sapı yırtıkların cerrahi tamir gerektirmeyen diğer yırtıklardan ameliyat öncesi ayırt edilmesi önemlidir. Özellikle genç ve ön çapraz bağ rekonstrüksiyonu yapılacak hastalarda menisküs tamiri yapılması, diz stabilitesinin ve fonksiyonel sonuçlarının daha iyi olması nedeniyle, klinik sonuçlar üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahiptir.
