Abstract
- The meniscus is considered "extruded" when it extends beyond the tibial margins more than 3 mm in a coronal view of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, identifying the meniscal extrusion intraoperatively may be difficult because of the simple fact that most of the arthroscopic procedures are done in knee flexion position while follow up MRI studies area taken at knee extension position. Here, we demonstrate the arthroscopic technique for evaluating the meniscal extrusion.
