Objective: To explore clinical characteristics of 4 patients with knee discoid medial meniscus under arthroscopic.
Methods: From April 2012 to May 2015, 4 patients(4 knees) with knee discoid medial meniscus were treated with arthroscopic, including 1 male and 3 females, aged from 7 to 56 years old with an average of 26 years old. All patients were performed discoid meniscus plasty under arthroscopic. Postoperative symptoms and signs were observed, and clinical effects were evaluated by Lysholm knee scores.
Results: All patients were followed up from 6 to 20 months with an average of 12 months. At the latest follow-up, Lysholm scores were 83.5±10.0;2 knees got excellent results, 1 knee good, and 1 knee moderate.
Conclusions: Knee discoid medial meniscus is easily missed diagnosis for atypical and early clinical symptoms , and seeing a doctor for obvious symptoms with meniscus tear, and could receive good curative effects after diagnosis as soon as possible.

As pediatric youth sports involvement has increased, there has been an increase in meniscus tears associated with acute pediatric knee injuries. The meniscus of pediatric patients has a more robust blood supply which may help its healing potential. The discoid meniscus is an anatomical variant that is more prone to meniscal tears in pediatric patients.

Article Synopsis
- Knee ligament and meniscus injuries in young athletes are increasing due to more kids playing sports and better diagnostic techniques like MRI.
- Meniscus injuries can happen in normal menisci or due to congenital issues, with treatment options including meniscoplasty and repair, primarily focusing on preserving the meniscus.
- ACL injuries and tibial spine fractures have specific treatment protocols, with surgical options being standard for tibial spine fractures, while ACL tears can be treated surgically or through rehabilitation, especially in young patients.

Purpose: The literature on factors predisposing to meniscal tears in the paediatric population focuses on concomitant injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL) or abnormal meniscus morphology such as discoid menisci. Patella alta has been associated with ACL ruptures but its association with meniscal tears has not been described. The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether abnormal patella height is associated with isolated meniscus tears in skeletally immature patients METHODS: We retrospectively analysed all patients under 16 years of age who had an isolated meniscal tear diagnosis confirmed on arthroscopic surgery.

Case: A 4-year-old girl with no relevant medical history presented with left knee swelling. Knee laxity, magnetic resonance imaging findings of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency and discoid meniscus, and the chronicity of symptoms prompted arthroscopic ACL reconstruction and meniscal saucerization. Pain and swelling continued, and repeat arthroscopy revealed regeneration of the discoid meniscus at 18-month follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed national data on discoid meniscus diagnoses and treatments in South Korea from 2011 to 2019, focusing on the increase in cases and demographic trends.
- The total number of discoid meniscus diagnoses rose by 45.1%, with higher occurrences in females and a shift in peak age from under 19 in 2011 to the 50s in 2019.
- Findings revealed an increase in surgical procedures, notably meniscus repairs growing by 58%, indicating a broader focus on treatment options for this condition over the years.*
