Abstract
Sensitivity, specificity, and agreement between clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gradings of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) after acute knee injury were evaluated in 362 patients. Ninety-seven per cent were injured during sports/recreation. Sensitivity and specificity of MRI for grade II or III MCL injury was 68% (95% CI 58-77%) and 90% (95% CI 86-93%), respectively. Weighted Kappa analysis showed moderate agreement between clinical and MRI grading (0.56 [95% CI 0.48-0.65]). Findings were similar for patients with and without concomitant cruciate ligament rupture (0.57 [95% CI 0.48-0.66] and 0.55 [95% CI 0.35-0.75], respectively) and for specialists in orthopaedics and knee sub-specialists (0.55 [95% CI 0.39-0.70] and 0.57 [95% CI 0.47-0.67], respectively). Agreement between clinical and MRI grading of MCL injuries by orthopaedic specialists in a general hospital is at least moderate regardless of the presence of cruciate ligament injury.
我们对 362 名患者急性膝关节损伤后内侧副韧带(MCL)的敏感性、特异性以及临床与磁共振成像(MRI)分级之间的一致性进行了评估。97%的患者是在运动/娱乐过程中受伤的。MRI 对 II 级或 III 级 MCL 损伤的敏感性和特异性分别为 68%(95% CI 58-77%)和 90%(95% CI 86-93%)。加权卡帕分析表明,临床分级与 MRI 分级之间存在一定的一致性(0.56 [95% CI 0.48-0.65])。对于伴有和不伴有十字韧带断裂的患者(分别为 0.57 [95% CI 0.48-0.66] 和 0.55 [95% CI 0.35-0.75]),以及骨科专家和膝关节亚专科专家(分别为 0.55 [95% CI 0.39-0.70] 和 0.57 [95% CI 0.47-0.67]),结果相似。无论是否存在十字韧带损伤,综合医院骨科专家对 MCL 损伤的临床分级和 MRI 分级之间的一致性至少为中等。
