  • Purpose: To evaluate the thickness of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus accompanying with degenerative radial tear. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 170 cases which show degenerative meniscal tear with variable degree of meniscal degeneration from February 2000 to February 2010. All cases were older than 40 years and 57 cases were men and 113 cases were women. Mean age were 55-year-old. We grouped the cases into 3 categories. Group A were composed with cases which showed horizontal and radial tear in posterior horn of medial meniscus. Group B showed horizontal tear only and group C showed intrasubstance degeneration without meniscal tear. Results: The mean thickness of medial meniscus posterior horn in group A, B, C were 7. 44 mm, 6.52 mm, 6.04 mm respectively. Group A showed significant increase of the thickness of medial meniscus posterior horn than group B, C. Group B also showed significant increase of thickness than group C. The degree of meniscal degeneration was highest in group A, which showed significant higher meniscal degeneration than group B and C, and, group B showed higher degeneration than group C, however, there was no statistically difference between group A and B regarding the degree of meniscal degeneration. Conclusion: The thickness of medial meniscus posterior horn was increased when accompanied with radial tear, which may elicit pain caused by meniscal impingement.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the effects of total or subtotal meniscectomy on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the 455 cases of arthroscopic ACLR (anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction) from February, 2003 to February, 2007 and followed-up more than 1 year. The 93 cases were enrolled. The 45 cases who underwent only ACLR were included and the 48 cases who underwent ACLR with total or subtotal meniscectomy were included in this study except grade 3 or 4 chondral lesion, partial meniscetomy or meniscal repair. We divided the patient into 4 groups which were isolated ACLR group (group I, 45cases), ACLR with lateral meniscectomy group (group II, 10cases), ACLR with medial meniscectomy group (group III, 28cases) and ACLR with both medial and lateral meniscectomy group (group IV, 10cases). The clinical evaluation was done by range of motion (ROM), IKDC subjective score, Lysholm score, anterior drawer test, Lachman test, Pivot shift test and KT-1000 arthrometer. Results: At final follow up, group IV was inferior than group I in IKDC subjective score and Lysholm score, and inferior than group II in IKDC subjective score. In KT-1000 arhtometric test, group I had better results than group III and group IV. Also in anterior drawer test and Lachman test, group 1 had better result than group III and group IV. In pivot shift test, there was no significant difference among four groups. Conclusion: Medial or both medial and lateral meniscectomy had greater laxity in anterior drawer test, Lachman test and KT-1000 arthrometric test and both medial and lateral meniscectomy had a lower subjective score than both meniscus intact group.

  • Although the lateral discoid meniscus has been observed frequently, the medial discoid meniscus is an extremely rare anomaly. The incidence of lateral discoid menisci ranges from 1.4% to 15.5% and the incidence of medial discoid menisci ranges from 0.06% to 0.3%. We present 1 patient of bilateral medial discoid menisci with tear on left side and 1 patient of unilateral medial discoid meniscus with tear, that were diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and arthroscopy. We performed partial meniscectomy on 2 cases of symptomatic medial discoid menisci under arthroscopy and meniscus-related symptoms were relieved. We report 3 cases of 2 patients with medial discoid meniscus.

  • Purpose: We compared the clinical and radiological results of meniscectomy with HTO or without HTO for degenerative medial meniscus posterior horn with varus deformity. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients who had medial meniscus degenerative root tear with varus deformity more than 3 degrees were included for this study. Among them, 30 patients were performed meniscectomy combined with open wedge HTO and 12 patients were performed only meniscectomy without HTO. The mean follow-up period was 52.5 months. The clinical results were evaluated based on symptom improvement, patients' subjective satisfaction for surgery and HSS score. We also compared the osteoarthritic progression between the group on preoperative and at the final follow up radiographs. Results: Symptom improvement was achieved in 83.3% (25 cases) with HTO group and 66.7% (8 cases) without HTO group at final follow up with a significant difference. Patients' satisfaction was achieved in 83.3% (25 cases) with HTO group and 58.3% (7 cases) without HTO group which has a significant difference. The HSS score was improved in both group (90.8: with HTO group, 89.0: without HTO group) at the final follow up without significant difference. WOMAC score was improved in both groups at the final follow up without significant difference. There were no significant differences in the osteoarthritic progression between two groups. Conclusion: The good clinical result for treatment of patient who have medial meniscus degenerative root tear with varus deformity, proximal high tibial osteotomy is considered absolutely necessary. However, the progression of degenerative arthritis, its effect on long term follow up will be needed.

  • Flap tear is a type of displaced meniscal fragments that is often clinically significant lesions requiring surgical intervention. If the displaced tear is located inferomedial to the tibial plateau and incarcerated into the articular capsule, it can be overlooked from preoperative magnetic resonance imaging evaluation and escape detection during arthroscopic examination. In addition, the clinical feature and treatment result of incarcerated flap tear has not been reported. We present 2 cases of medial meniscus flap tear incarcerated into the articular capsule that showed specific clinical features, in order to emphasize the importance of clinical suspicion of such a lesion for accurate preoperative diagnosis.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the real pathology & abnormal finding found by ultrasonography. Without an MRI test being done beforehand, an arthroscopy is done after an ultrasonography to show abnormal lesions during a knee abnormality. Materials and Methods: The subjects were 42 patients out of 49 cases, excluding those with rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis and patients suspected with a ligament tear, which were examined by ultrasonography alone before receiving a knee arthroscopy in our hospital from July 2007 to July 2008. In every case, a physical examination, simple X-ray and knee ultrasonography was done. An arthroscopy was performed when there was ultrasonographic abnormal finding. Before the procedure, a MRI test was not performed and when abnormal findings were found by an arthroscopy, an appropriate surgery was done. Results: During the ultrasonographic examination, there were various sized effusions in the suprapatellar pouch. Also, in addition there were eleven cases of medial meniscus abnormalities, sixteen cases of lateral meniscus abnormalities, and two cases of cystic lesions. Throughout the arthroscopic examination, there were 14 cases of medial meniscus abnormalities, 20 cases of lateral meniscus abnormalities, 15 cases of cartilage damages, 9 cases of medial pathologic plica, 2 cases of intra-articular loose bodies, 5 cases of chondromalacia, 2 cases of cyst, and 2 cases of synovitis. When an effusion abnormality was found by the ultrasonography in a suprapatellar pouch, there was a 100% probability of knee pathology. When a medial meniscus abnormality was found with an ultrasonography, there was a 90.9% probability of a real pathology. When a lateral meniscus abnormality was found there was 81.2% probability of a real pathology. Ultrasonography was 100% accurate when it came to cystic lesions. Conclusion: Knee ultrasonography performed before an arthroscopy seems to be a very useful examination method when suspecting intra-articular lesions.

  • In advanced gout, monosodium urate crystals are deposited in the joints and surrounding tissues, resulting in gouty tophi. A 45-year-old man was admitted to hospital due to pain and a limited range of motion in his right knee. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass, and arthroscopic surgery and biopsy were then performed. Gouty tophi invading the anterior horns of the medial and lateral menisci were identified and surgically removed. To the best of the author's knowledge, there is no case report of intrameniscal gouty tophi invading both the medial and lateral menisci. This paper presents this case along with a review of the relevant literature.

  • Purpose: We wanted to report the clinical characteristics and arthroscopic findings of radial tear in medial meniscus posterior horn insertion, commonly occurs in patient over middle age with documentary review. Materials and Methods: Retrograde study using hospital records was done to 40 cases in 40 patients who visited our hospital and had been performed knee arthroscopic surgery due to medial meniscus posterior horn insertion tear between January, 2005 to April, 2007. Seven cases were male and 33 cases were female with the mean age of 61 (range, 47-80). Trauma history, stage of arthritis, period between pain and operation, MRI findings, clinical symptoms and operation methods were evaluated. Results : Six cases had trauma history while 34 cases didn't. In simple x-ray, using Kellgren-Lawrence classification, 31 cases were between stage 0 and II while 9 cases were stage III. In arthroscopic exam, there were 17 cases of Outerbridge grade IV, 4 cases of grade III, 9 cases of grade II, 9 cases of grade I. The mean duration of pain was 5.3 months. In MRI, at least one finding of cleft in axial or coronal view or ghost sign in sagittal view was found in all cases. The shape of meniscus tears were blunt in 18 cases, transverse in 12 and degenerative tear in 10. Subtotal meniscectomy was performed in 16 cases, partial meniscectomy in 10 cases and meniscal repair in 14 cases. Conclusion : Medial meniscus posterior horn insertion tear occurs in patients over middle age is rarely related to trauma history but causes painful mechanical symptom and usually accompany arthritis. Meniscectomy can be done for the treatment but repair can be considered is some cases. Further study on the treatment result will be needed.

  • Purpose: To examine the clinical results after arthroscopic meniscectomy of radial tear of medial meniscus. Materials and Methods: We studied 45 cases with the radial tear of medial meniscus which follow up more than 2 years(range 2 to 7 years). Arthroscopic surgery was performed to the patients with grade 0-2 according to the Kellgren and Lawrence classification. Evaluation of cartilage damage was performed on surgical photos according to Outerbridge classification. Evaluation of clinical result was used the modified Lysholm score. Results: The mean pre-operation Lysholm score was 79.1, 71.2, 68.5, 67.9, 67.2, 61.5 and post-operation Lysholm score was 86.3, 75.1, 73.0, 73.1, 73.2, 66.2 and 61.5%, 62.5%, 60.0%, 50.0%, 50.0%, 25.0% improved knee pain and 69.2%, 75.5%, 70.0%, 66.6%, 75.0%, 75.0% were satisfied knee surgery and 30.7%, 20.5%, 20.0%, 50.0%, 25.0%, 50.0% required further surgery in patients respectively. According to Kellgren and Lawrence classification, 7 cases(15.5%) progress grade 3 osteoarthritis. Conclusions: The radial tear of medial meniscus showed the poor results with arthroscopic meniscectomy even if the grade 0-2 osteoarthritis. For the improvement of the clinical results, consider the technique to restore the hoop stresses or use the high tibia osteotomy for preventing the osteoarthritis.
