Collagenous Fibril Texture of the Discoid Lateral Meniscus

Histological and biological comparisons between complete and incomplete discoid lateral meniscus

“…On the other hand, A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 13 CDLM shows irregular fiber organization in the center region and in the medial middle zone, including the intercondylar region, of the central layer [15]. In the present study, fiber arrangement in the inner region of ICDLM was random, the same as in the inner region of normal meniscus.…”

“…A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 5 According to a report by Cui et al [15], CDLM can be divided into 7 layers based on the arrangement of collagen fibers, where the central layer can be divided into a medial middle zone having an irregular fiber arrangement and a lateral middle zone having a circular fiber arrangement. However, there are no reports to date that have examined fiber organization in ICDLM.…”

Arthroscopic treatment of discoid lateral meniscus in children

“…The classic statement by Smillie that horizontal cleavage is the most frequent type of discoid meniscus tear for complete discoid meniscus and depends on collagen fibrils non parallel anatomy in medial middle meniscal zone [8,15]. In our series we didn't observed the meniscal tears, probably caused by age of our patients and early diagnosis.…”

“…Uszkodzenia łąkotki tarczowatej według Smiliego najczęściej mają charakter szczeliny o przebiegu poziomym i zależą od nierównole-głego ułożenia włókien kolagenu w strefie środkowej łąkotki tarczowatej [8,15].U naszych pacjentów nie obserwowaliśmy uszkodzenia łąkotki tarczowatej, co było prawdopodobnie spowodowane wiekiem pacjentów i ich wczesną diagnozą.…”
