Anomalies of the Discoid Medial Meniscus

Orthopedics, 2011
Anomalies associated with a discoid medial meniscus have been described. However, the clinical relevance of these anomalies has not been previously reported. Therefore, we report the clinical relevance of some of these anomalies based on our experience with a 21-year-old soldier with a 3-month history of medial right knee pain.

The "blind side" of the medial meniscus

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1980
The major posterior insertion of the medial meniscus is not into the tibial plateau proper but into a rather deep recess behind the intercondylar eminence. The shape of the meniscus in relation to the curve of the meniscotome and its angle of approach, and also the surgeon's inability to see posteriorly from an anterior incision make posterior ...

Hypermobile Medial Meniscus

JBJS Case Connector, 2019
Case: A 21-year-old college soccer player suffered from knee joint pain, but neither preoperative clinical examination nor magnetic resonance imaging could detect a precise diagnosis. Arthroscopy showed that medial meniscus hypermobility led to impingement of the femorotibial joint surface.

Dislocating anterior horn of the medial meniscus

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 1998
Dislocating anterior horn of the medial meniscus was found in 15 knees of 13 patients during arthroscopic examinations done between 1992 and 1995. All of them were available for follow-up evaluation (4 by telephone). There were 11 men and 2 women (average age, 28 years; range, 17 to 49 years). Nine knees had a history of trauma.

Medial Meniscus Injuries

2015
Over the years, the concept of the meniscus has greatly evolved from being just a useless vestigial structure to a multifunctional and essential part of the knee. Currently, menisci are considered to be responsible for load transmission, joint lubrication, shock absorption, and joint stability [1, 2].

Injuries to the Medial Meniscus in the Aging Patient

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1966
TRAUMATIC internal derangement of the knee is generally associated with the young male athlete or laborer. It has long been felt that this condition was not prone to occur in the aging and that symptoms in the older patient were invariably due to the simultaneous presence of osteoarthritic changes, generally demonstrable by x-ray when these patients ...

Retained Posterior Horn of the Medial Meniscus

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1978
The incidence of a symptomatic retained posterior fragment of the medial meniscus in 2 different groups of patients with medial meniscectomy is compared. If the original surgery was done through one capsular incision, there was a 9.5% incidence of symptomatic retained posterior fragment as compared to 0.2% incidence if the original surgery was ...

Repair of the posterior root of the medial meniscus

The Knee, 2010
Tears of the posterior root of the medial meniscus are becoming increasingly recognized. Early identification and treatment of these tears help halt the progression of cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis of the knee. Repair of these tears is essential for recreating the hoop stress of the medial meniscus.
