Meniscal and Shape Deformation in Discoid Lateral Meniscus:

  • Meniscal Deformation: Indicates peripheral detachment through abnormal infolding, buckling, and shifting.
  • Shape Deformation: Signals early instability with surface changes, meniscal shifts, and development of meniscal megahorns. Important imaging signs include:

Additional Key Features:

  • Chicken Drumstick Appearance:
    On MRI, the meniscus may bulge at the free edge and flatten elsewhere, resembling a chicken drumstick in the coronal plane, often with an increased intrameniscal signal.
  • Pseudo–Bucket-Handle Tear:
    Refers to a centrally flipped discoid meniscus (DM) or middle segment into the intercondylar recess without a longitudinal tear, indicating underlying hypermobility and peripheral rim instability.
  • Posterior Megahorn:
    Results from progressive anterior capsular detachment leading to instability. Conversely, an anterior megahorn indicates a Wrisberg-type DM with absent posterior attachments.
