Midbody of the medial meniscus as a reference of preservation in partial meniscectomy for complete discoid lateral meniscus

ConclusionThe size of midbody of medial meniscus could be a reference for partial meniscectomy in symptomatic complete discoid meniscus. Preoperative shift represents a risk factor for decreased remaining meniscal width. These findings could be helpful in ensuring appropriate surgical planning and explaining poor prognostic factors.Level of evidenceProspective cohort study, Level II.
