I have been told that this is not true. Sometimes very minor tears are easy to diagnose and see on an MRI, while very major ones are false negative on MRI and only evident upon arthroscopy.

According to everything I have read, arthroscopy has the highest degree of accuracy of diagnosis, and some papers did refer to it as 100%.
