The common method for arthroscopy gives less accurate diagnosis of the tear of medial meniscus, mainly because of the difficulties encountered in examining the posterior compartment.The authors attempted the modified Giliquist's technique to examine the posterior portion of medial meniscus in 42 consecutive patients. The findings at arthroscopy were compared with the arthrogram in all cases.In five of them the findings at arthroscopy differed from the arthrograms. These differences are caused by the tecnique of arthrography and the interpretation of normal variants of arthrograms.Arthroscopy with this technique gives high diagnostic accuracy and details of posterior portion of medial meniscus.
