This document outlines a grading system for classifying MRI scans of meniscal tears, with Grade 0 representing a normal meniscus, Grade I showing small globular high signal areas not reaching the surface, Grade II exhibiting linear high signal not reaching the surface indicating partial healing or degeneration, and Grade III where the high signal communicates with the meniscal surface indicating a true tear that is 70-90% accurately detected, with the medial meniscus tears detected more accurately than lateral meniscus tears.
