Abstract

Several mechanisms for subluxation of the lateral meniscus, such as a bucket-handle tear, popliteomeniscal fascicle tear or meniscocapsular junction separation, have been recognized. The cause can be identified through a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination and the arthroscopic findings, and treatment can proceed accordingly. The authors report a case of a 28-year-old male in whom the lateral meniscus was subluxated and reduced without any abnormal findings on arthroscopic probing contrary to preoperative MRI findings.
