Discoid Medial Meniscus: An Uncommon Case in an Even More Uncommon Patient Population

Abstract

Discoid medial meniscus is an extremely rare anatomical variant; its symptomatic presentation is even more uncommon in adult patients. Surgery is indicated when conservative management fails, symptomatic adults and children are both surgically treated with partial meniscectomy and saucerization while maintaining a stable, peripheral rim. We report excellent results on our 44-year-old patient on 3-year follow-up.
