The new Thessaly test for early detection of meniscal tears provides high level of accuracy in both specificity and sensitivity. The previous evidence based approach for detection of meniscal tears following subjective history was done by carrying out a combination of the McMurray’s test and joint line tenderness. The combination of the two was needed to rule in meniscal tear as McMurray’s test was high in specificity and low in sensitivity (Malanga‚ 2003 ). Specificity of the test was determined
