Arthroscopic saucerization of the lateral discoid meniscus is considered due to an increase in the load of the lateral compartment after high tibial osteotomy (HTO). We report a case of lateral discoid meniscus regeneration after arthroscopic saucerization in a middle-aged female patient who underwent HTO.

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.

An incomplete discoid lateral meniscus is often associated with radial tears, which cause meniscal extrusion and result in poor healing outcomes. Centralization has recently been used as a surgical method to reduce extrusion. However, various repair techniques use single point of fixation sutures exclusively on the femoral side, potentially hindering healing.

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
  • The study compared the effectiveness of two surgical techniques (outside-in vs. all-inside suturing) for treating discoid lateral meniscus injuries, involving 30 patients in each group.
  • Results showed that the all-inside suturing group had better clinical outcomes, including shorter operation times and lower pain scores post-surgery.
  • Factors influencing treatment success included operation duration, knee scores at six months, and the type of suturing method used.

Evaluation of healing after arthroscopic repair of lateral meniscal tears around the popliteal hiatus.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study hypothesized that arthroscopic repair of lateral meniscal tears, specifically involving the popliteus tendon, would lead to low reoperation rates and better clinical outcomes.
  • * Results showed significant improvements in knee function and decreased widths of the popliteal hiatus and lateral meniscus extrusion after surgery, with only five patients needing reoperation within the follow-up period.
