AbstractThe discoid meniscus is a rare anomaly of the knee that affects mostly the lateral meniscus and is often asymptomatic. The osteochondritis dissecans is a disorder of the subchondral bone and articular cartilage and occurs frequently associated with the discoid lateral meniscus. In the present case, we showed the evolution of this association related to surgical treatment. A patient with lateral knee pain and a magnetic resonance depicting a torn discoid lateral meniscus and osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral condyle was treated with partial meniscectomy and meniscal sutures. After 1 year, the symptoms reappeared, and a new meniscal repair was performed to treat a bucket-handle tear, while cartilage was apparently intact. After 4 years, there was a new recurrence of symptoms, and the knee developed a valgus deformity. Cartilage was treated with microfractures, and a subsequent distal femoral osteotomy associated with lateral meniscal scaffold was performed. The patient was followed up clinically, with radiographs and magnetic resonance for 5 years with an improvement of the results up to 2 years and no signs of deterioration of results over time.
