Bilateral hypoplastic lateral menisci, an extremely rare knee anomaly, are presented in a case report. Arthroscopists should recognize this uncommon finding during knee examinations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Knee Anatomy
  • Diagnostic Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Meniscal anomalies are uncommon, with hypoplastic medial menisci being exceptionally rare.
  • Literature review revealed no documented cases of hypoplastic lateral menisci.

Observation:

  • A case report details a young patient diagnosed arthroscopically with bilateral hypoplastic lateral menisci.
  • This represents a novel finding in the lateral knee compartment.

Findings:

  • The study presents the first reported case of bilateral hypoplastic lateral menisci.
  • This condition is exceptionally rare and previously undescribed in medical literature.

Implications:

  • Arthroscopists should be aware of bilateral hypoplastic lateral menisci as a potential, albeit rare, finding.
