Discoid shapes of lateral menisci are relatively common finding, whereas discoid medial menisci are less common. Discoid medial meniscus with associated anomalous variants has been reported. However, symptomatic complex tear of complete type discoid medial meniscus with anomalous blending with anterior cruciate ligament is an extremely rare pathology. A 35-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with left knee pain and loss of terminal extension for 2 years. On physical examination, the patient presented with clicking and restriction during the extension motion of the knee joint. Magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy indicated complex tear of complete discoid medial meniscus in association with anomalous connection between entire apical portion of discoid medial meniscus and tibial insertion portion of the anterior cruciate ligament. We obtained a successful outcome with arthroscopic resection and shaping in one-piece method using no. 11 scalpel blade.

Radial Tear of the Midbody in Complete Discoid Lateral Meniscus: A Case Report.

To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the results of the repair of radial tears of the midbody of the complete discoid lateral meniscus (DLM). A 14-year-old female underwent meniscal replacement with autologous tendon transplantation for early re-tear after repair of the radial tear in the midbody of complete DLM. Two years after the tendon transplantation, there was no effusion or swelling, and the patient was able to exercise completely without symptoms.

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.
