Arthroscopy and HRUS Correlation in IDK
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a prospective study we invistigated internal derangement of knee (IDK) with High resolution ultrasound (HRUS). Aim was to determine effectiveness of ultrasound in diagnosing IDK and to compare with Arthroscopy. Ultrasound showed good sensitivity (91.3%) and specificity (90.6% ) and the figures were comparable toarthroscopic findings. We conclude that ultrasound is a simple, accurate, inexpensive and non invasive way of diagnosing knee disorders with a learning curve.

BACKGROUND This exploratory study investigated the motives of medical students (N = 63) for using indirect questions of the type I don't know if [you have already heard about chemotherapies], I don't know how [you are], or I don't know what [you do for a living] in simulated patient interviews during a communication skills course. METHODS I don't know questions (IDK-Qs) were observed during t...
