Abstract:
The present report concerns a 23-year-old woman who sustained an injury to her right knee while playing 10-pin bowling on a Nintendo Wii video game console. She presented to our orthopaedic outpatients clinic 3 months later with history and examination findings suggestive of a medial meniscal tear, which was confirmed by MRI scan. She underwent arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy and made an uneventful recovery.
