(Fig 1-C.18) Meniscal Ossicle https://youtu.be/SwMALyTRvHg https://youtu.be/VHbQLFiofuc ★ Meniscal Ossicle ★ Meniscal ossicles are indicators of potential meniscal tears, loss of articular cartilage, ACL injuries, or meniscal extrusion. Research using MRI has confirmed that meniscal ossicles, which can form in adults, are closely linked with posterior root tears of the meniscus, meniscus extrusion, and worsening osteoarthrit.. 2024. 2. 9.
(Fig 1-C.17) Meniscal Flounce with meniscocapsular tear https://youtu.be/4TlrLMIVjm4 https://youtu.be/VHbQLFiofuc ✅ Meniscal Flounce and Its Associations: The most significant factor linked to meniscal flounce is a tear at the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (PHMM), followed by a tear at the meniscocapsular junction. When meniscal flounce is observed on knee MRI, it's essential to perform a thorough evaluation to check for potential coexisting .. 2024. 2. 8.
(Fig 1-C.16) Meniscal Flounce and flounce-like fold https://youtu.be/k5lJ2yLaoZs https://youtu.be/VHbQLFiofuc ✅ Meniscal Flounce Summary: Meniscal flounce refers to a wave-like appearance of meniscus edges in sagittal MRI images. It occurs in about 0.2% to 0.3% of patients, mainly when the knee is flexed, and the free edge shows redundancy. While discussed in the context of the medial meniscus, it can also affect the lateral meniscus. The wave-li.. 2024. 2. 8.
(Fig 1-C.15) Lateral Meniscal Extrusion https://youtu.be/uSt9VQdK9qA https://youtu.be/VHbQLFiofuc ✅ Meniscal Extrusion Summary: Medial meniscal extrusion is defined as meniscal tissue extending 3 mm or more beyond the tibial plateau edge (excluding osteophytes). For lateral meniscal body extrusion, a threshold of 2 mm is suggested. Medial meniscal extrusion alone should not be the sole diagnostic criterion. ✅ Lateral Meniscal Extrusio.. 2024. 2. 8.
(Fig 1-C.14) Medial Meniscal Extrusion https://youtu.be/Bnw0ePs9EAo https://youtu.be/VHbQLFiofuc ✅ Meniscal Extrusion Overview: Meniscal extrusion occurs when the meniscus extends 3 mm or more beyond the tibial plateau edge. Substantial medial meniscus extrusion (> 3 mm) indicates severe meniscal issues like degeneration, extensive tears, and root involvement. Extrusion is commonly associated with posterior root tears but can also be.. 2024. 2. 8.

Diagnosis confirmed by showing a connection with an adjacent meniscal tear on MRI, regardless of the pulse sequence used. 2️⃣ Infrapatellar Ganglion ✅ Characteristics Well.. 2024. 2. 8.
(Fig 1-C.12) Meniscal Cysts of lateral meniscus https://youtu.be/ydLLDKqICBs https://youtu.be/VHbQLFiofuc ★ Meniscal Cysts Overview ★ Meniscal cysts can sometimes show the same signal intensity as skeletal muscles on T1-weighted MRI images. This similarity can be attributed to the presence of hemorrhage or high protein content within the cysts. On T2-weighted images, these cysts may appear with low signal intensity, which could be due to the .. 2024. 2. 8.
(Fig 1-C.11) Meniscal Cysts of medial meniscus https://youtu.be/ddzGp0w96S4 https://youtu.be/VHbQLFiofuc ★ Meniscal Cyst Overview: ★ 1️⃣ Intrameniscal Cysts: Appear as an increased signal within an enlarged meniscus. 2️⃣ Parameniscal Cysts: Appearance: Lobulated lesions with increased signal adjacent to the meniscus. Location: May extend along tissue planes. ✅ Medial Cysts: Can extend anteriorly to lie superficial to the Medial Collateral Li.. 2024. 2. 8.
(Fig 1-C.10) Peripheral Meniscal Instability https://youtu.be/B9YVEff_c7E https://youtu.be/VHbQLFiofuc ✅ Hypermobile Lateral Meniscus: It is thought to result from the congenital absence of posterior capsular attachments (similar to Wrisberg-type discoid meniscus, but without discoid morphology) or from tears in the posterior capsular attachment, especially the popliteomeniscal fascicles. ✅ Unstable Discoid Meniscus (DM): Symptoms: In unst.. 2024. 2. 8.

Treatment is for those with symptoms and suspected tears, which are common in the complete discoid meniscus, often showing horizontal or longitudinal patterns. Surgical Recommendation: Meniscectomy is often recommended f.. 2024. 2. 8.
