Abstract

Discoid meniscus is an uncommon cause of internal derangement of the knee joint. The discoid medial meniscus is much less common than the discoid lateral meniscus. A 15-year-old male student had a incomplete discoid medial meniscus of right knee combined with a horizontal tear. This was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and arthroscopic procedure. Partial meniscectomy was performed arthroscopically. An unevenful recovery followed. We report a case of discoid medial meniscus with brief review of literature.
