Methodology: 25 Patients presenting to Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Dept. of Orthopaedics with complaints of knee pain, in whom a clinical evaluation was followed by a diagnostic arthroscopy by a Consulting surgeon will be evaluated pre-operatively and the results assessed post operatively. Results: Correlating well with previous studies, our study showed a peak age distribution in the 21-30 years age group, females were affected more commonly and it was the right knee that was found to be affected more often than the left knee. Conclusion: Clinical examination should be the initial investigation of choice in the evaluation of all cases of internal derangement of knee and Arthroscopy should be done as an adjunct, to confirm the diagnosis and in certain cases, as a therapeutic procedure.
