[Technique of ultrasound examination of injuries of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus].
High-resolution real-time ultrasonography (5 MHz linear and 7.5 MHz sector) was used to examine patients with knee injuries. The posterior horn of the medial meniscus was easily demonstrated. With the knee in a special position (70 degrees flexion and internal-rotation) it was possible to visualize latent tears. Effusion escapes between the two parts of the injured meniscus; therefore, the space between the meniscus fragments was hypoechoic and the surface of the fragment had increased echogenicity.
