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...

The incidence of meniscal tear injuries is rising, predominately due to the sporting activities young adults. There are different methods in orthopedics management. An Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy (APM) most practiced orthopedic procedure globally. However, recent literature reported serious concerns about its positive outcome. Meniscal repair another recommended technique and growing rapi...

Background: The anatomic appearance and biomechanical clinical importance of the anterior meniscus roots are well described. However, little is known about loads that act on these attachment structures under physiological joint movements. Hypotheses: As compared with uniaxial loading conditions static knee flexion angles or at very low flexion-extension speeds, more realistic continuous movemen...

Discoid meniscus is an abnormality of the knee in which the meniscus is discoid rather than semilunar in shape. Medial discoid menisci are rare, and no specific associated symptoms suggest this condition. Several medial meniscus anomalies, including discoid variants, have been reported in the literature. This article describes a rare case of medial discoid meniscus completely coalesced with the...

BACKGROUND The meniscal flounce is wavy fold in free inner border of meniscus seen during knee arthroscopy. The presence of this flounce in medial meniscus has been found to be highly predictive of normal medial meniscus. With meniscus related symptoms being commonest indication for undergoing knee arthroscopy, presence or absence of medial meniscus flounce, can be a good guiding sign. In this ...

Introduction: The shape of the menisci is crescentic. There are variations in morphology menisci. knowledge about these variants necessary for radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons to discriminate between normal meniscal injuries. Aim: To analyse foetuses South Indian Population. Materials Methods: An observational study was conducted on 30 knee joints 15 age 20-37 weeks gestation. May 2015 201...
