Symptomatic anomalous insertion of the medial meniscus.
We report a case of a young athlete with a symptomatic anomaly of the medial meniscus. An anomalous portion in conjunction with the anterior horn of the medial meniscus extended to the intercondylar notch of the femur through the surface of the anterior cruciate ligament. This anomalous band was arthroscopically resected and the symptoms completely disappeared. Histologic examination showed fibrocartilaginous tissue compatible with meniscus.
