There are many different references about the accuracy of physical examination and arthrographic exploration in diagnosing meniscal tears. Therefore we analysed retrospectively 334 arthroscopic examinations, which were done because of a suspected or a proven meniscal lesion. We found an accuracy of 84% true-positives and true-negatives with regard to the physical examination and an accuracy of only 71.2% with regard to the arthrographic investigation. Our results were converted into a formula (stated in [11]), declaring the predictive value of a result. These findings led us to a certain scheme in diagnosing meniscal or other knee pain, presented here.
