Economic Considerations for the Diagnosis and Therapy of Meniscal Lesions: Can Magnetic Resonance Imaging Help Reduce the Expense?
Abstract. With magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the surgeon has such an effective diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of a meniscal lesion that the times of diagnostic arthroscopy should be in the past. A total of 823 patients with clinically diagnosed meniscal lesions were divided into two groups: gro...

With magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the surgeon has such an effective diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of a meniscal lesion that the times of diagnostic arthroscopy should be in the past. A total of 823 patients with clinically diagnosed meniscal lesions were divided into two groups: group A, 143 patients underwent MRI and 75 of those arthroscopy; group B, 680 patients, 201 (30%) of whom were operated after being only clinically examined. MRI was done on a Siemens Medical System Magnetom 1.5 Tesla with a 256 × 256 matrix. Spinal echo and gradient echo images were performed with slices of 2 to 4 mm thickness. All meniscal tears were graded according to Reicher and Crues, respectively. Grades III and IV were judged to be positive for a meniscal lesion. Arthroscopy was carried out under general anesthesia and the usual technique. The MRI revealed the following results: Medial meniscus: accuracy 95%, positive predictive value (PPV) 92%, negative predictive value (NPV) 95%, sensitivity 98%, and specificity 82%; lateral meniscus: accuracy 97%, PPV 92%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 94%, and specificity 98%. The overall values for MRI of the medial and lateral menisci combined were: accuracy 96%, PPV 93%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 96%, and specificity 90%. The clinical examination often failed to diagnose a meniscal lesion: accuracy 64%, PPV 59%, NPV 89%, sensitivity 96%, and specificity 33% for the medial meniscus. For the lateral meniscus the accuracy was 91%, PPV 61%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 89%, and specificity 91%. The overall values for the clinical investigation of the medial and lateral menisci combined were: accuracy 78%, PPV 60%, NPV 94%, sensitivity 93%, and specificity 62%. Investigation of all 201 patients operated from group B with MRI would have cost $160,800. The cost of 30% fewer arthroscopies would have been $562,800—in total $723,600. The operation of all 201 patients cost $804,000. Hence about $80,000 could have been saved by scanning all 201 patients and therefore reduce the rate of diagnostic arthroscopies. | ||

With magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the surgeon has such an effective diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of a meniscal lesion that the times of diagnostic arthroscopy should be in the past. A total of 823 patients with clinically diagnosed meniscal lesions were divided into two groups: group A, 143 patients underwent MRI and 75 of those arthroscopy; group B, 680 patients, 201 (30%) of whom were operated after being only clinically examined. MRI was done on a Siemens Medical System Magnetom 1.5 Tesla with a 256 × 256 matrix. Spinal echo and gradient echo images were performed with slices of 2 to 4 mm thickness. All meniscal tears were graded according to Reicher and Crues, respectively. Grades III and IV were judged to be positive for a meniscal lesion. Arthroscopy was carried out under general anesthesia and the usual technique. The MRI revealed the following results: Medial meniscus: accuracy 95%, positive predictive value (PPV) 92%, negative predictive value (NPV) 95%, sensitivity 98%, and specificity 82%; lateral meniscus: accuracy 97%, PPV 92%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 94%, and specificity 98%. The overall values for MRI of the medial and lateral menisci combined were: accuracy 96%, PPV 93%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 96%, and specificity 90%. The clinical examination often failed to diagnose a meniscal lesion: accuracy 64%, PPV 59%, NPV 89%, sensitivity 96%, and specificity 33% for the medial meniscus. For the lateral meniscus the accuracy was 91%, PPV 61%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 89%, and specificity 91%. The overall values for the clinical investigation of the medial and lateral menisci combined were: accuracy 78%, PPV 60%, NPV 94%, sensitivity 93%, and specificity 62%. Investigation of all 201 patients operated from group B with MRI would have cost $160,800. The cost of 30% fewer arthroscopies would have been $562,800—in total $723,600. The operation of all 201 patients cost $804,000. Hence about $80,000 could have been saved by scanning all 201 patients and therefore reduce the rate of diagnostic arthroscopies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="533" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="f">Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2002</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Weinstabl, Reinhard</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Muellner, Thomas</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Vécsei, Vilmos</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Kainberger, F.</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Kramer, M.</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">in</subfield><subfield code="t">World journal of surgery</subfield><subfield code="d">1977</subfield><subfield code="g">21(1997) vom: Apr., Seite 363-368</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-627)NLEJ188985433</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-600)1463296-2</subfield><subfield code="x">1432-2323</subfield><subfield code="7">nnns</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="1" ind2="8"><subfield code="g">volume:21</subfield><subfield code="g">year:1997</subfield><subfield code="g">month:04</subfield><subfield code="g">pages:363-368</subfield><subfield code="g">extent:6</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="u">http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/PL00012254</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_USEFLAG_U</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-1-SOJ</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_NL_ARTICLE</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="951" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">AR</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="d">21</subfield><subfield code="j">1997</subfield><subfield code="c">4</subfield><subfield code="h">363-368</subfield><subfield code="g">6</subfield></datafield></record></collection>

Economic Considerations for the Diagnosis and Therapy of Meniscal Lesions: Can Magnetic Resonance Imaging Help Reduce the Expense? |
| abstract |
Abstract. With magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the surgeon has such an effective diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of a meniscal lesion that the times of diagnostic arthroscopy should be in the past. A total of 823 patients with clinically diagnosed meniscal lesions were divided into two groups: group A, 143 patients underwent MRI and 75 of those arthroscopy; group B, 680 patients, 201 (30%) of whom were operated after being only clinically examined. MRI was done on a Siemens Medical System Magnetom 1.5 Tesla with a 256 × 256 matrix. Spinal echo and gradient echo images were performed with slices of 2 to 4 mm thickness. All meniscal tears were graded according to Reicher and Crues, respectively. Grades III and IV were judged to be positive for a meniscal lesion. Arthroscopy was carried out under general anesthesia and the usual technique. The MRI revealed the following results: Medial meniscus: accuracy 95%, positive predictive value (PPV) 92%, negative predictive value (NPV) 95%, sensitivity 98%, and specificity 82%; lateral meniscus: accuracy 97%, PPV 92%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 94%, and specificity 98%. The overall values for MRI of the medial and lateral menisci combined were: accuracy 96%, PPV 93%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 96%, and specificity 90%. The clinical examination often failed to diagnose a meniscal lesion: accuracy 64%, PPV 59%, NPV 89%, sensitivity 96%, and specificity 33% for the medial meniscus. For the lateral meniscus the accuracy was 91%, PPV 61%, NPV 98%, sensitivity 89%, and specificity 91%. The overall values for the clinical investigation of the medial and lateral menisci combined were: accuracy 78%, PPV 60%, NPV 94%, sensitivity 93%, and specificity 62%. Investigation of all 201 patients operated from group B with MRI would have cost $160,800. The cost of 30% fewer arthroscopies would have been $562,800—in total $723,600. The operation of all 201 patients cost $804,000. Hence about $80,000 could have been saved by scanning all 201 patients and therefore reduce the rate of diagnostic arthroscopies. |
