Immature articular cartilage and subchondral bone covered by menisci are potentially susceptive to mechanical load [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The differences of mechanical and histological properties between cartilage covered by menisci and uncovered by menisci may contribute to the osteoarthritis after meniscectomy and these differences are not fully understood.

Reliability of MRI interpretation of Discoid Lateral Meniscus: A multicenter study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) has a varied and complex morphology that can be challenging to assess and treat. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used for diagnosis and surgical planning; however, it is not known ...

Meniscal transplantation and its effect on osteoarthritis risk : an abridged protocol for the MeTEOR study : a comprehensive cohortstudy incorporating a pilot randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Objectives: Subtotal or total meniscectomy in the medial or lateral compartment of the knee results in a high risk of future osteoarthritis. Meniscal allograft transplantation has been performed for over thirty years with the scientifically plausible ...

MR- arthrography: anatomic variant from link between lateral meniscus and anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. A case report and review of the literature [PDF]
Menisci congenital anomalies are rare morphologic abnormalities including accessory meniscus, discoid meniscus, double-layered meniscus, hypoplastic meniscus and ring-shaped meniscus (RSM). In a 35 year-old male patient, MR arthrography showed a bridging

T2 Values of Posterior Horns of Knee Menisci in Asymptomatic Subjects [PDF]
[[abstract]]Purpose: The magnetic resonance (MR) T2 value of cartilage is a reliable indicator of tissue properties and therefore may be used as an objective diagnostic tool in early meniscal degeneration. The purpose of this study was to investigate age,

Efficacy of MRI in primary care for patients with knee complaints due to trauma: Protocol of a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial (TACKLE trial) [PDF]
Background: Patients with traumatic knee complaints regularly consult their general practitioner (GP). MRI might be a valuable diagnostic tool to assist GPs in making appropriate treatment decisions and reducing costs.

In 1934 Finder announced about 25 cases of discoid external intraarticuler cartilages of genus. Normally the menisci have a mesodermal development and differentiate from mesenchimal cells. In the aetiology of discoid meniscus are presented several theories. Discoid meniscus can be a disturbtion purpose for the patient. The frequency of discoid meniscus

Can we predict the clinical outcome of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy? A systematic review [PDF]
NHS-Prospero registration number 42016048592 Objective In order to make a more evidence-based selection of patients who would benefit the most from arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM), knowledge of prognostic factors is essential.
