Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Anatomy
- Radiology
Background:
- A discoid meniscus is an anatomical variation of the knee.
- While isolated lateral or medial discoid menisci are documented, their simultaneous occurrence is exceptionally rare.
- Bilateral involvement further increases the rarity of this condition.
