Prevalence of Clinically Relevant Findings on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Middle‐Aged Adults With Knee Pain and Suspected Meniscal Tear: A Follow‐Up
We estimated the prevalence of clinically relevant incidental findings on MRI to be 8.03% in middle-aged adults with mild to moderate KOA and suspected meniscal tear. These data may prompt clinicians to be more aware of the range of findings that can underlie knee symptoms, some of which could change management but may require different modalities of imaging to detect. Future research is needed to pinpoint factors associated with these concerning findings so that patients who are at risk can be identified and referred for advanced imaging.
