Meniscal tears and meniscal instability are rare complications of a discoid lateral meniscus in a very young child. We report a case of a 32-month-old male who presented with a limp and limited extension of his right knee. Magnetic resonance and sonographic images demonstrated a discoid meniscus with a posterior horn tear and unstable anterior horn, confirmed by arthroscopy. The patient was tre...

INTRODUCTION A discoid medial meniscus is a rare pathology of the knee joint, and is even rarer when it presents bilaterally with clinical symptoms. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 38-year-old female with symptomatic bilateral discoid medial meniscus. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed complete discoid meniscus in one knee and incomplete, on the other side. The MRI findings we...

Full radial posterior lateral meniscus root tears are frequently associated with injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament. Left unrepaired, they result in loss of the meniscus hoop stress function and can lead to overload of the lateral compartment and early degenerative changes. Arthroscopic suture repairs show successful results with long-term follow-up. However, previously described suture...

In this paper, the numerical study focuses on stress field of knee meniscus in two gaits jumping motion, and injury its protection effect are studied based distribution characteristics meniscus. The gait simulation was carried out by using a more detailed healthy model including bone, articular cartilage, meniscus, ligaments peripheral soft tissues constructed combining CT MRI tomography, peak ...

Highlights The significance and universality of meniscus-on-demand 3D printing method for micro- nano-fabrication are introduced. theoretical dynamics physics behind the meniscus formation summarized. applicability to various printable materials capabilities fabrication photonic electronic devices demonstrated. existing challenge potential research opportunities in terms micro/nano-scale pointe...

The discoid meniscus is probably a congenital deviation that usually occurs laterally. The Watanabe classification consists of complete, incomplete, or Wrisburg ligament types. Complete and incomplete discoid menisci normally require treatment only when a tear occurs. The Wrisburg ligament type lacks a posterior capsular attachment. The preferred treatment is repair of the posterior capsular di...

Hooks and other sub-surface features in continuous-cast ultralow-carbon steel samples were examined using optical microscopy, electron backscattering diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron probe microanalysis techniques. Special etching reagents revealed dendrites growing from both sides of the line of hook origin. This line was found to represent the frozen meniscus an...

An abundant cell source is the cornerstone of most tissue engineering strategies, but extracting cells from the knee meniscus is hindered by its dense fibrocartilaginous matrix. Identifying a method to efficiently isolate meniscus cells is important, as it can reduce the cost and effort required to perform meniscus engineering research. In this study, six enzymatic digestion regimens used for c...

This study aims to identify various criteria which can affect the Functional outcome of acute and chronic medial meniscus repair done by arthroscopic surgery associated knee injuries seen with damage meniscus. is a retrospective in Civil Hospital Ahmedabad for patients operated 2016-2017 calendar year, inclusion exclusion criteria’s have been listed.
