title: [The significance of arthroscopy in the diagnosis of acute knee injuries].
abstract: Acute knee injuries were arthroscopically diagnosed in 32 patients from July 1988, to November 1989. Aiming to compare diagnostic reliability, knees were clinically examined before and after anesthesia had been induced, and arthroscopically. Arthroscopy revealed that ligaments were the most frequently injured. These injuries were diagnosed as dominant ones in 26 (79%) cases. Correct diagnosis was made in 10 (30%) injured, and by examination under anesthesia in 18 (55%) ones.
