Meniscal ossicles, rare bone formations in the knee, can cause pain and swelling. Surgical removal of an ossicle within a discoid meniscus led to complete symptom resolution in this case.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Human Anatomy

Background:

  • Meniscal ossicles are uncommon anomalies in the human knee joint.
  • Discoid menisci, an anatomical variant, are more prone to tears and degeneration.
  • Knee pain and swelling can be indicative of meniscal pathology.

Observation:

  • A 57-year-old male presented with right knee pain and swelling.
  • Radiographic imaging revealed a meniscal ossicle.
  • Arthroscopic examination identified a degenerative horizontal tear and calcification within a lateral discoid meniscus containing the ossicle.

Findings:

  • The lateral discoid meniscus, including the ossicle, was surgically resected.
  • The patient experienced complete symptom relief following the procedure.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the successful management of a symptomatic meniscal ossicle associated with a discoid meniscus.
  • Arthroscopic excision can be an effective treatment for painful meniscal ossicles.
  • Understanding meniscal anomalies is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment of knee pain.
