KKU knee compression-rotation test for detection of meniscal tears: a comparative study of its diagnostic accuracy with McMurray test.

Abstract

The KKU knee compression-rotation test for detection of torn meniscus had better rates of diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy than McMurray test. Therefore, the KKU knee compression-rotation test can be the first line screening examination for detection of torn meniscus. However, if the patient is tested by both the KKU knee compression-rotation and the McMurray tests, it will be a better screening test because a high sensitivity and positive result of both tests suggests a diagnosis of torn meniscus accurately.
