guarding. Haemodynamically stable patients with suspected live injury should be investigated for imaging studies. Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) is usually useful for both blunt and penetrating trauma. FAST has sensitivity from 75-94 % and specificity from 97-100 % for intra-abdominal fluid in trauma patients. FAST cannot distinguish between laceration and haematomas‚ also it cannot detect injuries at the lateral part of the liver‚ retroperitonial injuries and hollow viscus injuries

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 by a dull sound elicited on the medial
