Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Anatomy
  • Radiology

Background:

  • The lateral meniscus exhibits greater developmental variation compared to the medial meniscus.
  • Understanding meniscal variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment of knee injuries.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of an accessory discoid layer of the lateral meniscus.
  • The accessory layer represents a significant anatomical variation.

Findings:

  • Comprehensive arthroscopic, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and histopathological views of the accessory lateral meniscus were documented.
  • These views provide detailed insights into the morphology and characteristics of this anatomical variant.

Implications:
