“…7,28 In the native meniscus, the meniscus loses its chondroprotective effect with increasing RD, which possibly leads to further degeneration and osteoarthritis. 24 Meniscal displacement is very rarely seen in healthy knees, and if it occurs, it is usually smaller than 3 mm. 2 Radial displacement in native menisci is associated with radial meniscal tears and degenerative posterior root tears due to loss of resistance to hoop stress.…”

Two-Year Follow-up Study on Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Polyurethane Meniscal Scaffolds

This study demonstrated that limited medial meniscal RD was present preoperatively but increased by 2 mm after scaffold implantation. Lateral RD was also present preoperatively but did not increase after scaffold implantation. Importantly, a strong negative correlation was found between the rim and postoperative medial RD; a thicker rim limited RD. However, in the lateral compartment, rim thickness did not correlate with RD because RD was already strongly present preoperatively. Finally, no correlations were observed between scaffold RD and clinical outcome scores, either preoperatively or postoperatively.

Bucket-handle meniscal tears used to be rare in children younger than 10 years of age. However, nowadays, we encounter more cases because of increased sport and recreational activities. In this paper, we report on a 9-year-old girl who presented with an isolated medial meniscal bucket-handle tear of the right knee and review the literature for similar cases. Bucket-handle meniscal tears are rare in young children. However, it should be ruled out in patients with knee pain and mechanical symptoms following knee injury.

“…Meniscal tears can be categorized into the following types: longitudinal, horizontal, radial, oblique, and complex (Fig. ) . Longitudinal tears occur in a vertical direction and can vary in length from ∼1 mm to the length of the meniscus (Fig.…”

“…A variation of a longitudinal tear is known as the bucket handle tear and these occur when the tear spans the entire thickness of the meniscus, splitting a section mediolaterally (Fig. 5.2) . Horizontal tears develop due to shear stresses generated by inferior and superior sections of the meniscus and are more common in elderly patients (Fig.…”

Current strategies in meniscal regeneration

The meniscus plays an important role in the biomechanics and tribology of the knee joint. Damage to or disease of the meniscus is now recognized to predispose to the development of osteoarthritis. Treatment of meniscal injury through arthroscopic surgery has become one of the most common orthopedic surgical procedures, and in the United States this can represent 10 to 20% of procedures related to the knee. The meniscus has a limited healing capacity constrained to the vascularized periphery and therefore, surgical repair of the avascular regions is not always feasible. Replacement and repair of the meniscus to treat injuries is being investigated using tissue engineering strategies. Promising as these approaches may be, there are, however, major barriers to overcome before translation to the clinic.

Bucket handle tears of the medial meniscus: meniscal intrusion rather than meniscal extrusion

Abstract: Given an intact medial meniscal root in the setting of a "pure" bucket handle tear, there is no MME.
