[Ultrasound diagnosis of the meniscus].
As a supplement to clinical findings, sonographic examination of the meniscus is an easily available, noninvasive imaging technique that can be used to optimize preoperative diagnosis and check the indication for arthroscopy. Careful consideration of the technical requirements and systematic performance of the dynamic examination should lead to further improvement of the examination results and to growing clinical significance in the future.
