Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A total of 254 patients will be included, who after providing their signed informed consent to participate in the study, will undergo dynamic ultrasound. After giving signed consent to participate in the study, the patient will undergo the ultrasound evaluation for assessment of possible meniscal injury; Radiological examinations in the patient's possession or from the patient's medical record will be collected during or before the diagnostic investigation.
