Partial deficiency of the lateral meniscus.
We report an abnormally shaped lateral meniscus. As far as we know, the present case is the first description of partial deficiency of the lateral meniscus in the literature. Although it is a rare abnormality, arthroscopic surgeons should be familiar with this entity for the differential diagnosis of bucket-handle meniscal tears, not only for magnetic resonance imaging, but also for arthroscopic evaluation. This entity could also be an aggravating factor for instability symptoms of partial or total anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knees.
Conservative treatment of eminentia intercondylaris fractures of the tibia in children.
Seventeen patients (16 children, 1 adolescent) were reviewed 31 months to 71 months after sustaining the common childhood fracture of the eminentia intercondylaris of the tibia. The aim was to assess long-term results and prognosis by clinical and radiological examination and to discover whether conservative treatment was adequate for type I and type II fractures according to Meyers and McKeever. Early improvement occurred in all patients after conservative treatment, but long-term results were not satisfactory in displaced fractures,which were treated with closed reduction and immobilization in extension. Therefore, anatomic reduction and rigid fixation should be obtained for displaced fractures of the eminentia intercondylaris of the tibia.
