Abstract:
We report on a 67-year-old women who had pain after a knee arthroplasty in the region of the lateral meniscus. The arthroscopy showed the remainder of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, which luxated as a bucket handle tear into the joint. The resection led to an immediate relief. This case show the importance of meticulous removal of the entire menisci during bicondylar surface replacement.
