title: Peripheral detachment of the menisci of the knee: a preliminary report.
abstract: 1. Anterior central detachments do satisfactorily as outlined. 2. However, if synovial meniscal detachments can be subluxed into the tibiofemoral junction, they should be sutured to their synovial ligamentous beds. 3. Both types of peripheral detachment coexist frequently with other intra-articular derangements, which are usually minor except when the anterior cruciate ligament is involved.
