2014, Arthroscopy TechniquesCitation Excerpt :The osteochondral injury to the femoral medial condyle was caused by damaged meniscal margins, and this injury damaged the tibial cartilage. Discoid medial meniscus, a rare congenital anomaly, was first reported by Cave and Staples,4 and fewer than 70 cases have been reported in the literature.5-7 Various clinical symptoms of discoid meniscus have been reported: Discoid lateral meniscus tends to manifest as hypermobility during childhood without tearing, whereas discoid medial meniscus is asymptomatic in childhood until shown by a tear.8,9

2011, Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Surgery and ResearchCitation Excerpt :It may also be due to a vertical tear, inducing instability. Plain X-ray may show an enlarged medial femorotibial joint line [3,7,11,25,42], but is more often, as in the present cases, normal. MRI is the best means of confirming diagnosis and exploring for associated meniscal lesions [5,15,25,40].
