Patients were examined initially with ultrasound followed by non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with MRI used as a reference standard. <strong>Results:</strong> A total of 52 medial meniscal tears were detected on MRI out of which 42 cases were detected correctly on ultrasound giving a specificity of 80.8%; likewise, a total of 51 patients were detected with lateral meniscal tears on MRI out of which 38 cases were detected correctly on ultrasound giving a specificity of 74.5%. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Ultrasound is a reliable imaging modality in identifying medial and lateral meniscal tears.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Asian Journal of Medical Radiological Research}, author={A, Suresh and Shetty, Aishwarya and Kala, Prachi}, year={2019}, month={Jan.}, pages={23-26} }
