COMPENDIUM OF ANATOMICAL VARIANTS Symptomatic Ring-Shaped Medial Meniscus

SEMPTOMATİK HALKA ŞEKİLLİ LATERAL MENİSKUS: VAKA SUNUMU A Symptomatic Ring-Shaped Lateral Meniscus: A Case Report

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 th...

Improved arthroscopic one-piece excision technique for the treatment of symptomatic discoid medial meniscus

BACKGROUND Discoid medial meniscus is an extremely rare abnormality of the knee. During arthroscopic meniscectomy for symptomatic discoid medial meniscus, it is difficult to remove the posterior portion of the meniscus because of the confined working space within the compartment and the obstruction caused by the anterior cruciate ligament and the tibial intercondylar eminence. To overcome these...

Familial Discoid Medial Meniscus Tear in Three Members of a Family: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Background. A discoid meniscus is a thickened variant of the normal C-shaped meniscus prone to injury. Discoid medial meniscal tears have rarely been reported within families and may suggest familial or developmental origins. Methods. We report the cases of two Caucasian brothers with symptomatic discoid medial meniscus tears. A literature review was conducted addressing discoid medial meniscus...

Symptomatic Bilateral Torn Discoid Medial Meniscus Treated with Saucerization and Suture

Discoid meniscus is an anatomical congenital anomaly more often found in the lateral meniscus. A discoid medial meniscus is a very rare anomaly, and even more rare is to diagnose a bilateral discoid medial meniscus although the real prevalence of this situation is unknown because not all the discoid medial menisci are symptomatic and if the contralateral knee is not symptomatic then it is not u...
