Evaluating the diagnostic performance of MRI-based signs for identification of meniscus posterior root tears: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The cleft sign demonstrated the best overall diagnostic performance. High-sensitivity signs are recommended for initial screening, whereas high-specificity signs are indicated for diagnostic confirmation. The ghost sign and cleft sign, with their high AUC and DOR, serve as core diagnostic criteria.
