Two hundred patients with a meniscal lesion were peroperatively allocated to partial or total meniscectomy in a random manner. The results were compared at one year and at 6.3 to 9.8 years (median 7.8). After one year more patients with partial meniscectomy (90%) than with total meniscectomy (80%) had no complaints. At the later review these figures were 62% and 52%, respectively (j = 0.18). Ho...

Introduction Double posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) sign is a sign on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is suggestive of a bucket- handle tear (BHT) of the meniscus. We undertook this study to assess the presence of a double PCL sign and its correlation with arthroscopic findings. We also discussed the various mimics and variants of the double PCL sign. Case Report All the patients wit...
