Objective To examine the clinical and functional outcomes for a series of patients who underwent meniscal repair for isolated meniscal tears focusing the study population on athletes. Methods This study represents a case series of 46 athletes who underwent repair of isolated meniscal lesions of the knee from 2010 to 2015. Cases of discoid meniscal lesions and combined ligament injuries were e...

A 64-year-old man presented with intermittent but progressive lateral-sided knee pain. Symptoms mimicked those of a lateral meniscal tear. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cyamella associated with popliteal tendonitis and an intact lateral meniscus.

The discoid medial meniscus developed a horizontal cleavage tear and consequently a parameniscal cyst which became symptomatic insidiously. Physical examination revealed medial joint line tenderness with T...

PURPOSE To measure dynamic change characteristics of spatial and temporal variations in the post-blink tear film of normal eyes. METHODS A wavefront sensor was used to measure dynamic changes in wavefront aberrations, up to the seventh order, for 10 seconds in a group of 33 normal young adults. Tear menisci were imaged with an anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) system and ...

Background This study investigated the presence of bursitis in the medial compartment of the knee (pes anserine, semimembranosus-tibial collateral ligament, and medial collateral ligament bursa) in osteoarthritis, chondromalacia patella and medial meniscal tears. Patients and methods Radiological findings of 100 patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging with a preliminary diagnosis of kn...

The double popliteus tendon sign is seen on sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee as a low-signal-intensity band parallel to the popliteus tendon at the level of the popliteus hiatus. It is the result of a displaced complex flap tear of the lateral meniscus. This type of displaced meniscal tear can be easily missed on MRI, unless the clinician is aware of its existence and signi...

Evaluation of tear volume is important for diagnosing dry eye disease. At the clinical site, dedicated devices such as slit lamp microscopy or Schirmer’s test strip have been used to quantify tear volume by ophthalmologist. However, these devices have access only in medical office and therefore have limited availability for the public. Tear volume changes with environmental, physical or psychol...
