Characteristic morphology of the proximal tibiofibular joint in patients with discoid lateral meniscus

Abstract

The horizontal-type PTFJ was significantly associated with DLM, and patients with DLM tended to retain a horizontal-type PTFJ after epiphyseal closure. In contrast, in patients with a normal meniscus, the PTFJ may change from a horizontal-type to an oblique-type PTFJ in line with bone maturity.
