The meniscal ossicle is an infrequent radiographic finding in humans. It often is mistaken for an intra-articular loose body. MR imaging is the ideal modality to differentiate between these entities. We report the imaging findings of a meniscal ossicle in a patient with emphasis on the MR imaging appearance. A review of the literature on meniscal ossicles is also presented.

Purpose: Recent studies demonstrated a contribution of adrenoceptors (ARs) to osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Several AR subtypes are expressed in joint tissues and the β2-AR subtype seems to play a major role during OA progression. However, the importance of β2-AR has not yet been investigated in knee OA.
