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

3D strain in native medial meniscus is comparable to medial meniscus allograft transplant
Injury or degeneration of the meniscus has been associated with the development of osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Meniscal allograft transplant (MAT) has been shown to reduce pain and restore function in patients who remain symptomatic following meniscectomy.

Medial meniscus posterior root repair decreases posteromedial extrusion of the medial meniscus during knee flexion [PDF]
Medial meniscus (MM) medial extrusion in the coronal plane does not always improve, even after repair. This study aimed to determine the extent of posteromedial extrusion of the MM during knee flexion before and after MM pullout repair using three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Data from 14 patients (mean age, 63.4 years; 86% female) who ...
