Physicians and Surgeons who see knee pain: “GO TO THE BACK AND LOOK FOR THE GAP” that’s my tip to help identify a MEDIAL MENISCUS ROOT TEAR on an MRI. (Please go to my Instagram feed to see all 3 videos) For those who don’t know the “root tear” in most cases requires surgery. This tear is also OFTEN MISSED by the radiologist or inexperienced physician. Knowing how to identify this tear pattern is therefore very important. So remember to “GO TO THE BACK AND LOOK FOR THE GAP”❗️If you are being evaluated for knee pain make sure you provide your doctor the MRI images on a CD and ask that they be reviewed. It’s not a good idea to rely on a report. So remember to GO TO THE BACK AND LOOK FOR THE GAP on the MRI :) If you thought this was a helpful post please share🙏🏼. Thank you.
