| Popis: | Summary: Bucket-handle tears of the medial menisci are a common injury in young adult athletes. The incidence of acute bilateral tears occurring simultaneously is anecdotally very small and its occurrence has not been reported. We present the case of an 18-year-old man who sustained bilateral bucket-handle tears of the medial menisci while long jumping. We propose that the mechanism of injury may be analogous to that in footballers. This case report raises awareness of the occurrence of bilateral bucket-handle tears.
