    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • The discoid meniscus is a rare congenital anomaly of the knee.
    • It can present with symptoms similar to a typical meniscus tear, leading to diagnostic challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical features, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of the discoid meniscus.
    • To highlight two illustrative case examples.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of discoid meniscus.
    • Case report analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The discoid meniscus can cause knee pain, clicking, and locking.
    • Diagnosis often relies on MRI findings.
    • Treatment may involve conservative management or surgical resection/repair.

    Conclusions:

    • Early recognition and accurate diagnosis of discoid meniscus are crucial for appropriate management.
    • Understanding its unique characteristics differentiates it from common meniscus lesions.
