We report a case of double-layered lateral meniscus, where an accessory proximal hemimeniscus was overlying the body and posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. It lay 1-2 mm proximal and parallel to the normal lateral meniscus with its periphery attached to the capsule and was significantly thinner and more mobile than its underlying counterpart. The accessory hemimeniscus was resected arthros...

Lateral meniscus tears are commonly encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. Despite efforts to repair and preserve the meniscus, meniscectomy is occasionally required to treat irreparable tears. The resulting lateral meniscus deficiency leads to increased tibiofemoral contact pressures and ultimately early osteoarthritic changes in the knee. Lateral meniscal allograft transplant (LMAT) has been pr...

Background. A discoid meniscus is a thickened variant of the normal C-shaped meniscus prone to injury. Discoid medial meniscal tears have rarely been reported within families and may suggest familial or developmental origins. Methods. We report the cases of two Caucasian brothers with symptomatic discoid medial meniscus tears. A literature review was conducted addressing discoid medial meniscus...

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of great aid in the diagnosis of knee lesions. Nevertheless, arthroscopy has remained the reference standard for the diagnosis of internal derangements of the knee, against which alternative diagnostic modalities should be compared. This study was designed to assess the value of MRI and clinical examination in the diagnosis of Anterior Cruciate Li...

INTRODUCTION The proximity of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the popliteal artery determines a risk of vascular injury in its suture. The aim of this study is to determine the location of the popliteal artery, and to establish the minimal distance from the posterior wall of the lateral meniscus to the artery, the common peroneal nerve (CPN), and its correlation to other variables...

Introduction The combined meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are commonly reported sport-contact injuries of the knee. The clinical maneuvers more adopted for identifying the meniscus injuries are McMurray test, Apley test, medial and lateral joint lines tenderness (JLT). The purpose of our study is that to evaluate the correlation between clinical examination and arthroscopic ...

BACKGROUND Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury increases the risk of meniscus and articular cartilage damage, but the causes are not well understood. Previous in vitro studies were static, required extensive knee dissection, and likely altered meniscal and cartilage contact due to the insertion of pressure sensing devices. HYPOTHESIS ACL deficiency will lead to increased translation of th...

Various shapes of congenital abnormalities of the meniscus have been reported. Among them, the double-layered meniscus is rare. This article describes a 22-year-old man with a double-layered lateral meniscus who reported right knee pain with no history of trauma. The double-layered lateral meniscus included both the upper and lower meniscus. The anterior and posterior edge of the upper meniscus...

The posterior lateral meniscus root (PLMR) provides the circumferential tension required to stabilize the lateral meniscus. Thus, preservation of the PLMR is important to prevent an increase in tibiofemoral contact pressure, which could result in osteoarthritis. We describe an all-arthroscopic approach to the fixation of PLMR using suture anchors through associated posterolateral arthroscopic p...
