Discoid meniscus: current concepts. [PDF]
Abstract Discoid meniscus is the most frequent congenital malformation of the menisci, and primarily affects the lateral meniscus; it is highly prevalent in the Asian population. The anatomic, vascular, and ultrastructural features of the discoid meniscus make it susceptible to complex tears.

Is the present classification of discoid meniscus sufficient? [PDF]
Introduction: Although uncommon, the discoid meniscus is quite prone to injury due to its abnormal shape and abnormal histology. The weak or absent peripheral attachment of the discoid meniscus causes instability even after partial meniscectomy ...

THE CONGENITAL DISCOID MENISCUS [PDF]
1 . A personal series of twenty-nine discoid menisci is reviewed. 2. Three anatomical types are recognised and described. 3. The characteristic lesions incurred by each type is recorded. 4. The anatomical and pathological features of the specimens are compared with those of cases previously recorded. 5.

Symptomatic Bilateral Torn Discoid Medial Meniscus Treated with Saucerization and Suture [PDF]
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 ...

Unstable Type III Wrisberg-type Lateral Discoid Meniscus: All-inside Arthroscopic Repair [PDF]
Background: The Type III Wrisberg-type represents the rarest subtype of discoid meniscus. It exhibits a normal non-discoid “C”-shape with possible posterior horn hypertrophy, but meniscotibial ligaments and capsular restraints are lacking, leading to a ...
