Discoid lateral meniscus: case report of arthroscopic attachment of a symptomatic Wrisberg-ligament type.
The symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus is a well-known congenital anomaly that is of three different types: complete, incomplete, and Wrisberg-ligament type. The Wrisberg-ligament type has no meniscotibial attachment posteriorly, and in the past has been treated by total (open or arthroscopic) meniscectomy. In this article, we review the literature and report a previously unreported case of arthroscopic peripheral attachment after central partial meniscectomy of a Wrisberg-ligament type discoid lateral meniscus, with documentation of healing at arthroscopic second look 1 year following surgery.
