Abstract

A discoid medial meniscus is a relatively rare pathology of the knee joint, and bilateral cases are extremely rare. We present one case of bilateral symptomatic discoid medial menisci. Arthroscopy revealed a complete type of discoid medial meniscus in one knee and an incomplete type in the other knee. Ours is a very rare case of bilateral discoid medial menisci with associated osseous changes in the tibia, and it is perhaps the first such reported case in the world. The patient was successfully treated by partial meniscectomy using routine arthroscopic procedures.
