The study hypothesis was that patients who sustain a traumatic injury to the knee or have a long history of clinical symptoms are likelier to be operated on. We investigated 149 patients clinically and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Group A (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 62) underwent arthroscopic surgery and group B (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 87) were treated conservatively. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine correlations with regard to age, gender, injury pattern, period between the injury and first clinical examination, and MRI results. We found no significant difference between the two groups with regard to gender (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.1), injury pattern (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.44), or period between injury and first clinical examination (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.5). Patients in group A were significantly older than those in group B (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.044), and, as expected, MRI signal alterations were significantly higher in group A than in group B (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.001). In acutely injured patients MRI helps to establish an accurate diagnosis, and in cases of positive MRI findings in a symptomatic patient, the surgeon should not wait 4\u20136 weeks but should immediately recommend surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670050164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,8,25]],"date-time":"2002-08-25T03:30:30Z","timestamp":1030246230000},"page":"278-283","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The role of magnetic resonance imaging in routine decision making for meniscal surgery"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Muellner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> University Clinic of Traumatology University of Vienna Medical School W\u00e4hringer G\u00fcrtel 18\u201320 A\u20101090 Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Nikolic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> University Clinic of Traumatology University of Vienna Medical School W\u00e4hringer G\u00fcrtel 18\u201320 A\u20101090 Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Kubiena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> University Clinic of Traumatology University of Vienna Medical School W\u00e4hringer G\u00fcrtel 18\u201320 A\u20101090 Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Kainberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>2<\/label>--> Clinic of Radiodiagnostic Surgical Division University of Vienna Medical School W\u00e4hringer G\u00fcrtel 18\u201320 A\u20101090 Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Mittlboeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>3<\/label>--> Department of Medical Computer Sciences University of Vienna Medical School W\u00e4hringer G\u00fcrtel 18\u201320 A\u20101090 Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"V\u00e9csei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> University Clinic of Traumatology University of Vienna Medical School W\u00e4hringer G\u00fcrtel 18\u201320 A\u20101090 Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,9]]},"container-title":["Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s001670050164.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s001670050164\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s001670050164","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T13:07:26Z","timestamp":1760879246000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s001670050164"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1999,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1999,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s001670050164"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s001670050164","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0942-2056","1433-7347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0942-2056","type":"print"},{"value":"1433-7347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1999,9]]}}}
