Discoid Meniscus

Description

Dr. Nicholas Colyvas from UCSF delivers an insightful presentation on the Discoid Meniscus, including a case study of a 23-year-old active female tennis player suffering from lateral knee pain and clicking sensations after a mild twisting injury. He discusses the physical examination findings, classic radiographic and MRI characteristics of discoid meniscus, diagnostic classifications, and management approaches, ranging from conservative treatment to surgical interventions such as saucerization and repair techniques. The presentation culminates in a year-later follow-up demonstrating successful reconstitution of the meniscus and the patient’s positive recovery.
