Advantages and Disadvantages
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| The presence of a crevice sign suggests that there is an unstable medial meniscal tear. | Surgeons should always assess meniscus stability; an unstable medial meniscus tear can occur without a crevice sign. |
| This is an easy and fast way to determine if we should repair a meniscal tear (because it means this is unstable). | The crevice sign is never seen on the lateral compartment. |
