Doctors discover simple knee bend test could spot hidden injury in kids
NCT ID NCT04741269
Summary
This study looked at whether a simple observation during a physical exam—one knee not bending as far as the other—could reliably indicate a specific type of dislocated meniscus in children. Researchers examined 98 children under 18 who had a painful, abnormally shaped meniscus (discoid lateral meniscus). They checked if this 'asymmetric knee flexion' sign matched what surgeons saw inside the knee during surgery.
