Background: Discoid medial meniscus is an extremely rare congenital anatomic variant with an estimated incidence of 0.12%. Arthroscopicmeniscal saucerization and repair are reserved for symptomatic tears only. We present a case of discoidmedialmeniscus tear, outline the surgical arthroscopic technique used for treatment, and compare several surgical approaches. Case Report: An 18-year-old male presented with left knee pain and mechanical symptoms present for 2 years. Physical examination showed stability to both varus and valgus stresses with absence of locking or catching on McMurray testing. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed discoid medial meniscus with a horizontal oblique tear of the posterior horn. The patient underwent saucerization of the left discoid medial meniscus and medial meniscus repair. Conclusion: Discoidmedialmeniscus predisposes individuals to meniscal tears that often require operative management. Careful consideration of surgical approach can help to optimize patient outcomes while minimizing the risk of iatrogenic injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
