Evaluation of postoperative menisci with MR arthrography and routine conventional MRI.

Objective: The diagnosis of a recurrent tear can be more difficult in the postoperative meniscus. The purpose of our study was to determine the accuracy of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRI with intraarticular contrast material [magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography] for detecting recurrent meniscal tears after surgery.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-two patients who had arthroscopic surgery for meniscal tear and still got complaints were selected prospectively for MR arthrography and conventional MRI.
