[Isolated traumatic meniscus rupture--is there progress?].
A review of the literature revealed that there are no new scientific data which can rule out the existence of an isolated traumatic meniscus tear. However, the large number of publications on the subject of meniscus pathology do suggest that the traumatic tear of a "healthy" meniscus without ligamental or osseous concomitant lesions is indeed very rare. In order to perform an individual medical examination, therefore, medical experts need every available information to assess such a case.
