“…Aside from the shapes of the LM, morphometric data related the LM, including thickness and width may affect the type of injury. Those data have been reported in adult cadavers by multiple researchers [3, 9, 22, 29, 30, 32, 36]. Using new imaging techniques, the menisci have become increasingly visible and it has become easier to obtain morphometric data [5, 11].…”

Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate of morphometry of the lateral meniscus (LM) and determine incidence of the LM shapes. Methods This study was performed on fetal cadaver collection of Anatomy Department of Necmettin Erbakan University. Fifty human fetal cadavers (25 female, 25 male human fetal cadavers) were used in this study. Microdissection was performed. Morphometric measurements were performed. LM were classiied into four types and ive subtypes. ResultsIn this study, it was identiied that all parameters which were measured were found to be increased with gestational ages. Four morphological types and ive morphological subtypes were determined. It was found that 12% of the LM were crescent-shaped, 66% of the LM were C-shaped, 14% of the LM were incomplete-disc-shaped, 2% of the LM were discshaped, 6% of the LM were variant C-shaped. Conclusions A few studies on fetal meniscal anatomy and its development were performed. Each new study is important for having detailed anatomy and development of the fetal menisci which will have both clinical and anatomical impacts during childhood and adulthood for orthopedic surgeons and anatomists, respectively. The most important results of this study were the detailed objective analysis of the macroscopic fetal growth of LM. It was signiicantly observed that four morphological types and ive morphological subtypes of LM. The results of the present study related with both the observation of morphological development of the fetal meniscal anatomy, and its morphological variants, are important in terms of improving our knowledge, and clinical approach on the description, and the management of the symptomatic lateral discoid meniscus tears in children, adolescents, and adults. The clinical relevance of this study was that this classiication of fetal menisci could ameliorate our current understanding of the morphology of lateral meniscus in adult, further.

“…Variations in LM size, shape, and attachment were reported in multiple studies. Many of those studies were performed on adult human knees [3, 5, 6, 11, 27, 30–33, 36, 39], where variations may be related to congenity or development [4, 7, 9, 13, 19, 24–27, 33].…”
