Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Here we present a rare finding of a discoid medial meniscus. METHODS: Clinical reports, radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results, and intraoperative arthroscopic images highlight this rare clinical entity. RESULTS: We have demonstrated successful treatment with arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and saucerization of discoid medial meniscus. CONCLUSIONS: Discoid medial menisci are a rare cause of medial knee pain and should be considered if classic MRI findings are associated with mechanical symptoms. Reprint &
