1. DISCOid Inferno: Hot takes on the Management of the Discoid Meniscus

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a talk by Brian Haas from UC Davis on the management of discoid meniscus. The speaker acknowledges the PRISM Meniscus Research Interest Group and gives an overview of what a discoid meniscus is, its incidence, and how it presents in children. The main symptoms are a snapping knee and joint line tenderness, and patients often have mechanical symptoms, particularly in knee extension. Diagnostic imaging includes X-rays and MRI, with specific criteria used to determine if a patient has a discoid meniscus. The speaker discusses the historic treatment of complete meniscectomy, which led to degenerative changes, and the shift in treatment towards saucerization and repair. The arthroscopic discoid meniscus classification system developed by the PRISM group is introduced, which assesses width, height, stability, and tear type/location. The speaker also briefly mentions the management of discoid medial meniscus, including common symptoms, tear types, and treatment. The presentation concludes with a discussion on patient age, osteotomies, and post-operative rehabilitation for root repairs.<br /><br />No credits were provided in the video.
