Purpose: This study was undertaken to report clinical outcomes after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in patients with a discoid lateral meniscus and to determine (1) whether discoid lateral meniscus degeneration by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) progresses after HTO and (2) whether this progression adversely affects clinical results.

Methods: The records of 292 patients (292 knees) who underwent medial opening HTO were retrospectively reviewed, and discoid types and grades of lateral meniscus degeneration as determined by MRI were recorded preoperatively. Of the 292 patients, 17 (5.

Background: The clinical and radiologic features of radial tears of the medial meniscus posterior horn were compared with those of horizontal tears.

Methods: From January 2007 to December 2008, 387 consecutive cases of medial meniscal tears were treated arthroscopically. Among these, 91 were radial tears in the medial meniscus posterior horn, and 95 were horizontal tears in the posterior segment of the medial meniscus.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between meniscal extrusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tearing of the posterior root of the medial meniscus, as well as to understand the relation between meniscal extrusion and chondral lesions.

Methods: From January 2007 to December 2008, 387 consecutive cases of medial meniscal tears were treated arthroscopically. Of these cases, 248 (64.

Purpose: To report long term treatment outcomes of osteofibrous dysplasia and association with adamantinoma.

Patients And Methods: From January 1984 to July 2001, 14 patients with osteofibrous dysplasia were followed for an average of 108 months (78 to 260 months). Our patient group consisted of 6 men and 8 women, with a mean age of 13.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Chul Jun Choi"

  • - Chul Jun Choi's research primarily focuses on knee injuries, particularly meniscal tears, and their clinical outcomes post-surgery, highlighting the implications of different types of meniscal pathologies on treatment effectiveness.
  • - One of his significant studies investigates the accelerated degeneration of the discoid lateral meniscus after medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy, indicating that degeneration may adversely impact clinical results following surgery.
  • - His work also includes analyses of meniscal tear characteristics, such as the differences between radial and horizontal tears, and the relationship between meniscal extrusion and chondral lesions observed through MRI, shedding light on injury management strategies.
