Nov 30, 2024 · Discoid menisci are anatomical variants that have a body that is too wide, usually affecting the lateral meniscus. They are incidentally found in 3-5% of knee MRI examinations.

Nov 23, 2012 · The MRI appearance of a Wrisberg variant discoid lateral meniscus is quite specific. A Wrisberg variant consists of a discoid lateral meniscus with absent normal fascicles and coronary ligaments that would normally attach the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the joint capsule and tibia.

A discoid meniscus was said to be present if three or more 5-mm-thick contiguous sagittal images demonstrated continuity of the meniscus between the anterior and posterior horns. High-resolution coronal images allowed more graphic depiction of the abnormally wide meniscus.

Orthopaedic surgeons reliably interpret MRI scans using the PRiSM Discoid Meniscus Classification for the majority of DLM characteristics but vary in their assessment of height and presence and type of tear.

Sep 9, 2021 · The purpose of this study is to classify the discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) according to the signal and shape in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to provide information not only in diagnosis but also in treatment.

Jun 13, 2008 · The diagnosis of discoid lateral meniscus is easily rendered on MRI. Invasive surgical treatment for discoid lateral meniscus is effective for symptomatic relief but is recommended only if the symptoms of the condition become significantly problematic.

Sep 21, 2021 · Clinical presentation, arthroscopic findings and indirect radiological diagnostic criteria are described, as are the MRI findings of normal and pathological discoid menisci. Current concepts of surgical management and outcomes of the …

Clinical presentation, arthroscopic findings and indirect radiological diagnostic criteria are described, as are the MRI findings of normal and pathological discoid menisci. Current concepts of surgical management and outcomes of the discoid meniscus are also briefly discussed.

Mar 15, 2008 · MRI is the modality of choice to evaluate a discoid meniscus before surgery. Discoid meniscus is fairley common in children on clinical examination to come with snapping sounds of the knees.Clinical examination shows a senstivity of 88 % v/s an MRI sensitivity of only 38 % in various series.
