摘要
Nine patients with symptomatic lateral discoid meniscus were treated arthroscopically between April, 1992 and September, 1994. Partial menisectomy
and shaving the inner edges to mimic the normally-shaped meniscus was the preferred operative procedure. Lysholm knee score and scale of lkeuchi were used to assess treatment results, with a mean follow-up period being 28.9 months. Satisfactory result was found in eight patients (88.9%), but one patient with complex tear of the meniscus had poor result. Post-operative improvement was statistically significant.
