Influencing factors and imaging characteristics of medial meniscus posterior horn root tear with displacement caused by military training
Objective To investigate the influencing factors and imaging characteristics of medial meniscus posterior horn root tear with displacement caused by military training.Methods The clinical data and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)characteristics of 102 patients with root tears of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus confirmed by arthroscopy in Hebei Provincial Armed Police Corps Hospital from July 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 84 males and 18 females with a mean age of(33.06±5.72)years(21-45 years).According to the displacement after tear,the patients were divided into displacement group(n=35)and non-displacement group(n=67).The clinical data and imaging characteristics were compared between groups.Multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of medial meniscus posterior horn root tear combined with displacement caused by military training.The diagnostic efficacy of MRI for the root tear of medial meniscus posterior horn with displacement was evaluated.Results The absolute amount of meniscus prolapse,the relative rate of meniscus prolapse and the proportion of patients with grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ cartilage degeneration of medial tibial plateau in the displacement group were significantly higher than those in the non-displacement group(P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that the absolute amount of meniscus prolapse(OR=2.971,95%CI:1.142-8.733),the relative rate of meniscus prolapse(OR=3.177,95%CI:1.227-9.261),and grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ cartilage degeneration of the medial tibial plateau(OR=2.930,95%CI:1.125-7.632)were related to medial meniscus posterior horn root tear with displacement caused by military training(P<0.05).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the sensitivity,specificity and area of the curve(AUC)of MRI in the diagnosis of medial meniscus posterior horn root tear with displacement were 85.71%(95%CI:68.96%-94.62%),91.04%(95%CI:80.88%-96.31%)and 0.884(95%CI:0.805-0.939),respectively.Conclusion Medial meniscus posterior horn root tear with displacement caused by military training is related to MRI imaging parameters such as absolute amount of meniscus prolapse,relative of meniscus prolapse rate,and cartilage degeneration of medial tibial plateau.MRI has a high diagnostic efficiency for medial meniscus posterior horn root tear with displacement.
