Discoid lateral meniscus: a simple horizontal tear was associated with less articular cartilage degeneration compared to other types of tear.

Purpose: The relationship between the tear type of discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) and articular cartilage degeneration has not been well studied.

Methods: Data from patients with DLM tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery, between 2008 and 2016, were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic variables were obtained from medical records.
