The discoid medial meniscus is an extremely rare anomaly. Bilateral discoid medial menisci are much more rare but intermittently reported. We report the first case of bilateral discoid medial menisci with positive double PCL sign, which typically indicates a bucket-handle tear of medial meniscus. A literature review was also conducted on bilateral discoid medial menisci.

Failure rate of isolated medial meniscus repair in the stable knee: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

The Orthopaedic Speciality Clinic, Pune, India.
Purpose: The present meta-analysis aims to determine the outcomes and failure rates for medial meniscus repairs in patients with stable knees.
Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed and Scopus with the terms '(medial meniscus OR medial meniscal) AND (repair)'. The search strategy was based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Meta-Analyses) protocol and included 93 articles assessed for eligibility.
Discoid meniscus is a congenital morphological variant of the meniscus, which tends to occur more frequently in its lateral form than in the medial form. This anomaly is characterized by central hypertrophy of the meniscus and a larger diameter than the normal meniscus, resulting in an abnormal shape and greater coverage of the tibial plateau. The clinical presentation of this condition varies depending on the stability of the meniscus.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a machine learning model to predict lateral compartment osteoarthritis (OA) in patients with a discoid lateral meniscus (DLM), focusing on age as a contributing factor.
- Data from 611 patients diagnosed with DLM using MRI were analyzed using various algorithms, and extreme gradient boosting was found to be the most effective model for predictions.
- Age was the top predictor for younger patients, while the presence of medial compartment OA became more predictive in older patients, highlighting the importance of age and medial OA in treatment strategies.
Effect of inside-out meniscal repair on meniscal dimension in meniscal tear patients.

Background: It remains controversial whether meniscal repair causes meniscal extrusion. This study aimed to investigate the effect of inside-out meniscal repair on meniscal dimensions in patients with meniscal tear of the mid-body-posterior horn.
Methods: This retrospective study included 75 patients who underwent meniscal repair followed by MRI within 2 weeks after surgery between 2020 and 2022.
