Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate usefulness of ultrasonography for the follow up of the repair of peripheral lateral meniscal tear compared to MRI.
Materials and Methods: Fourteen patients who underwent repair of peripheral lateral meniscus tear were followed for at least 1 year (1 to 2.5 years). Ten cases were male, four cases were women, and average age was 36.1 years (19~53 years). After surgery ultrasonography and physical were performed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year.
Results: Three cases had joint line tenderness or swelling on physical examination until 3 months, but after then, it disappeared. There is no re-tear in ultrasonograhic examination.
Conclusion: The ultrasonography was useful for the follow-up study of the peripheral lateral meniscus tear.
