Meniskustests – „Verbunden werden auch die Schwachen mächtig“

Um herauszufinden, ob ein Patient an einer Meniskusverletzung leidet, kommen in der Praxis verschiedene spezifische Tests wie der McMurray, Apley und Thessaly zum Einsatz. Einzeln können diese eine Meniskusläsion zwar nicht sicher erkennen, doch in Kombination sind die Tests eine gute Ergänzung zum MRT und zur Arthroskopie.
