- Abstract
The article focuses on a meta-analysis and systematic review carried out to determine the morphological value of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) when articular cartilage repair takes place. 32 articles from Embase, Medline and Cochrane Collaboration were analyzed and chi squared tests were performed. The articles were screened for relevance and appraised for quality. The results show that strong evidence to suggest value of MRI is lacking for cartilage repair.
