Review of discoid meniscus

Orthopaedic Surgery | 2011 | Ye Sun, Qing Jiang

Discoid lateral meniscus is an intra‐articular knee disorder that typically presents in children and adolescents. The natural history depends on the type of anomaly and the nature and presence of symptoms. Management of this disorder should be directed toward resolution of the symptoms while preserving meniscal tissue and function. Modern surgical techniques make suturing and p...

Poster 151: Is it Worth Repairing Unstable Discoid Meniscus? A Long-term Analysis Following Discoid Meniscus Repair with a Minimum of 5 years Follow-up

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2025 | Mauricio Drummond, Steven Henick, Joseph Charla, Emily Ferreri

Objectives: Discoid meniscus (DM) repair is the gold standard treatment for unstable DM. Good early clinical outcomes have been reported following DM repair, however, it is unclear if these outcomes can be sustained over time due to the dearth of long-term studies. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical outcomes following DM repair with a minimum of 5 years of foll...

DISCOID MENISCUS

Orthopaedic Proceedings | 2024 | Taufin Warindra

Discoid meniscus (DM) is a congenital variant of the knee joint that involves morphological and structural deformation, with potential meniscal instability. The prevalence of the Discoid Lateral Meniscus (DLM) is higher among the Asians than among other races, and both knees are often involved. Meniscal pathology is widely prevalent in the adult population, secondary to acute t...

Lateral Discoid Meniscus: A Case Report

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2024 | Anggrian, Ghuna Arioharjo Utoyo

Introduction: Discoid lateral meniscus is a deformity of the meniscus characterized by hypertrophy of the central portion of the meniscus; the incidence rate ranges from 3% to 5% and reaches 15% in Asian ethnicities. Previous researchers have hypothesized that failure to internalize the central portion of the meniscus during embryonic and fetal development due to genetic mutati...

Discoid Meniscus

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2023 | Nadia Ifran

Discoid meniscus is an abnormal congenital variant of meniscus. The incidence is relatively low, but higher incidence was found in East-Asian population. Incidence of discoid lateral meniscus range from 0.4% to 17%, while discoid medial meniscus range from 0.06% to 0.3%. Moreover, recent studies in Asian population found high incidence of bilateral discoid meniscus up to 97%. D...

Magnetic Resonance Image (Mri) Measurements of Lateral Discoid Meniscus (Ldm) in Pediatric Patients Match Adult Lateral Discoid Meniscus Definitions

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2022 | Jennifer Beck, Anna Wood, Abbie Bennet, Nicholas Jackson

Background: Commonly cited lateral discoid meniscus (LDM) imaging definitions are based upon adult MRI measurements: >70% tibial plateau coverage on the sagittal, >20% tibial plateau coverage on the coronal and >3 bowtie signs. This pathology more commonly presents in pediatric populations and it is unknown if these measurements apply to a pediatric population. Therefore, it is...
