Purpose: To quantify the effect of meniscoplasty suture-saucerization on volume and surface coverage of lateral discoid menisci. Methods: This retrospective study included all consecutive 10 patients treated between 2014 and 2019 who had magnetic ...

The Influence of Obesity and Meniscal Coverage on In Vivo Tibial Cartilage Thickness and Strain
Background: Obesity, which potentially increases loading at the knee, is a common and modifiable risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis. The menisci play an important role in distributing joint loads to the underlying cartilage.

Damage and degenerative changes in menisci‐covered and exposed tibial osteochondral regions after simulated landing impact compression—a porcine study [PDF]
AbstractThe capacity of menisci‐covered and exposed tibial osteochondral regions in resisting impact‐induced damage and degeneration is not fully understood. This study sought to evaluate damage and degenerative changes in these regions upon a single simulated landing impact.

Medial and Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root Tears with an Intact Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Background. Medial meniscus (MM) posterior root tear (PRT) is often caused by meniscal degeneration, whereas lateral meniscus (LM) PRT is mainly caused by trauma, especially trauma associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Although there

Tibial Plateau Fracture with Bucket-handle Tears of Both the Medial and Lateral Menisci
Tibial plateau fractures represent approximately 1% of all fractures which have been reported to commonly accompany by soft tissue injuries.[1] Neglect or missed diagnosis of such soft tissue injuries have negative effects on clinical outcome. In this article, we report a rare case of tibial plateau fracture combined with extensive soft tissue injuries,

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the state-of-the-art for automated assessment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) from medical image data. However, these methods lack interpretability, mainly focus on image texture, and cannot completely grasp the ...

Bilateral discoid medial menisci: association with bone changes in the tibia [PDF]
We present here the third case report of bilateral discoid medial menisci with associated bone changes. An 18-year-old man had bilateral medial tibial plateau depression (cupping) accompanying medial discoid menisci documented by magnetic resonance ...

A Porcine Animal Model for Early Meniscal Degeneration - Analysis of Histology, Gene Expression and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Six Months after Resection of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament. [PDF]
The menisci of the mammalian knee joint balance the incongruence between femoral condyle and tibial plateau and thus menisci absorb and distribute high loads. Degeneration processes of the menisci lead to pain syndromes in the knee joint.

Anatomic variations of the shape of the menisci: a neonatal cadaver study [PDF]
Meniscal injuries in children and adolescents are being seen with increased frequency. The menisci are two crescentic lamellae whose functions are to deepen the articular surfaces of the tibial plateu for reception of the condyles of the femur.
