SEMPTOMATİK HALKA ŞEKİLLİ LATERAL MENİSKUS: VAKA SUNUMU A Symptomatic Ring-Shaped Lateral Meniscus: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A ring-shaped lateral meniscus is an uncommon morphological variant, and its etiology remains unclear. A 38-year-old male was admitted to our institution complaining of right knee pain and locking. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested a bucket-handle tear in the medial meniscus and a discoid lateral meniscus. On arthroscopic evaluation, however, a ring-shaped lateral meniscus was detected in the lateral compartment. The lesion was saucerized as if it were a discoid meniscus. We believe that a ring-shaped meniscus is a rare fourth variant of a discoid meniscus.

INTRODUCTION Osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral condyle is relatively rare, and it is reported to often be combined with a discoid lateral meniscus. Given the potential for healing, conservative management is indicated for stable osteochondritis dissecans in patients who are skeletally immature. However, patients with osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral condyle combin...
