Dynamic sonographic visualization of an occult posterior lateral meniscocapsular separation: A case report

We report a case of an 18-year-old female softball catcher with unrevealing MRI despite continued left knee locking and discomfort with deep squatting. Meniscocapsular separation was revealed only on dynamic sonographic exam, where knee flexion revealed a 3.1 mm gap that developed between the capsule and peripheral meniscus. Arthroscopy confirmed the sonographic findings, and repair resulted in complete resolution of symptoms.
