BACKGROUND To explore the association between the rupture of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and the radial displacement of medial meniscus under the conditions of different flexion and various axial loads. METHODS The radial displacement value of medial meniscus was measured for the specimens of normal adult knee joints, including 12 intact PCLs, 6 ruptures of the anterolateral bundle (ALB...

We present the first reported case of symptomatic medial dislocation of the medial meniscus in a patient who had no previous history of trauma and who had an otherwise normal knee. The treatment of instability of the medial meniscus is controversial and studies have indicated that certain individuals without a firm meniscal bony insertion may be predisposed to meniscal dislocation. In our patie...

BACKGROUND Development of the foetal period of the meniscus has been reported in different studies. AIMS Evaluation of lateral and medial meniscus development, typing and the relationship of the tibia during the foetal period. STUDY DESIGN Anatomical dissection. METHODS We evaluated 210 knee menisci obtained from 105 human foetuses ranging in age from 9 to 40 weeks' gestation. Foetuses we...

Partial meniscectomy involves partial removal of the meniscus. This can vary from minor trimming of the damaged part of the meniscus to the removal of the rip from the meniscocapsular junction. Meniscus tears are the most common knee injury. They may occur in acute knee injuries in younger patients, or as part of a degenerative process in older individuals. The aim of the study was to demonstra...

Meniscal variations have increasingly been reported in medical literature. These anomalies mainly appear in the lateral side of the knee (Arnold et al., 2000). However, meniscal variations, such as discoid meniscus and hypoplasia, can also be found in the medial side (Cave and Staples, 1941; Min et al., 2001; Yañez-Acevedo, 2001; Tachibana et al., 2003; Monllau et al., 2006). The purpose of thi...

This prospective double-blind study was designed to evaluate the capability of magnetic resonance imaging to serve as a diagnostic tool in patients who have a clinically suspected disorder of the meniscus. The imaging studies provided a diagnostic accuracy of 72 per cent, a sensitivity of 88 per cent, and a specificity of 57 per cent. The positive and negative predictive values were 66 and 83 p...

BACKGROUND The management of meniscus tears identified at the time of primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is highly variable and includes repair, meniscectomy, and nontreatment. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the reoperation rate for meniscus tears left untreated at the time of ACL reconstruction with a minimum follow-up of 6 years. The hypot...

An 18-year-old man with no prior surgical history presented with left knee pain after sustaining a basketball injury and was diagnosed with transient patellar dislocation. Magnetic resonance imaging was ordered to further assess the extent of injury.
