🔍 Exploring Displaced Meniscal Tears in MRI
Understanding meniscal tears is key in knee MRI. Let’s break down the three main types of tears involving displaced meniscal material:
1️⃣ Bucket-Handle Tear with Displacement
2️⃣ Flap Tear with Displacement
3️⃣ Free Fragment Displacement
⚠️ Why It Matters:
Identifying any displaced fragments is crucial.
Why? Because they can be easily missed during surgery, leading to less-than-optimal outcomes.
Unlike stable horizontal cleavage tears, unstable meniscal tears pose a greater risk of damaging the hyaline cartilage.
