Ultrasonography has emerged as a promising modality for diagnosing KOA. Medial meniscus extrusion (MME), characterized by displacement of medial meniscus beyond the joint line has been recognized as a significant marker of KOA progression. This study aimed to explore potentials Ultrasound findings in timely detection of MME and compare it to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a reference standard.
