Table 3 The table shows which type of tear can be predicted and which arthroscopic procedures can be predicted according to the presence or absence of deformation or displacement on MRI in discoid lateral meniscus
From: A Useful MRI Classification for Symptomatic Discoid Lateral Meniscus
Arthroscopic Type of Tear | Arthroscopic Procedure | |
|---|---|---|
No Deformation and Displacement (1a) | • No Specific Type of Tear | • Saucerization |
Deformation (1b) | • Simple Horizontal Tear | • Saucerization |
Displacement (1c) | • Peripheral Tear | • Saucerization + Repair • Subtotal Meniscectomy |
