Discoid meniscus - signs and symptoms, imaging, treatment
A discoid meniscus is the abnormal development of the meniscus leading to a hypertrophic and discoid shaped meniscus.
Diagnosis can be suspected on radiographs with (squaring of lateral condyle with cupping of lateral tibial plateau) but require MRI for confirmation (3 or more 5mm sagittal images with meniscal continuity).
Treatment is generally observation for patients who are asymptomatic. Arthroscopic meniscectomy and saucerization may be indicated for patients with continued pain and mechanical symptoms.
