“…The wedge-shaped menisci increase the congruity between the convex femur and the relatively flat tibia and thereby protect the articular cartilage from excessive axial loads [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . Radial meniscal tears are not uncommon in young patients 11 , and they often occur at the junction of the body and the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.…”

“…Our main finding in this study-that one can change the natural history by surgically altering the load-supports this idea. In many species, load and wear mainly affect parts not covered by menisci (Seedholm et al 1974), the medial compartment presumably taking up most of the load in the knee joint (Kettelkamp and Chao 1972), a likely oc-…”

“…In earlier times the only way to manage any meniscal injury was to go in for an open excision [2,3]. This procedure was invasive and proved to be undesirable for good joint function.…”

50 cases of isolated meniscal injuries of the knee were evaluated and managed arthroscopically, 56 % of the cases were in 25-35 year age group. In 80% of the cases military training and contact sports was the mode of injury. Maximum (42%) patients reported late (> 2 years) after the injury. On presentation, they had an average Lysholm knee score of 53.76. Medial rneniscal lesion was seen in 74%. Commonest pattern of tear encountered was a longitudinal tear (40%). Depending on pattern and extent of lesion, partial meniscectomy (60%), subtotal meniscectomy (14%) and total meniscectomy (26%) were performed. Patients were followed up at six months and one year. The average Lysholrn score at 6 months was 83.3 and at one year 79.5. At one year, the patient satisfaction level was 82 % and patients who underwent partial meniscectomy had the best results, MJAFI 2001; 57: 99·103
