BILATERAL HYPOPLASTIC LATERAL MENISCUS

Among other anomalies of the menisci, a hypoplastic medial meniscus is extremely rare, with only four cases being described in the English l iterature. We were unable to find a description of this anomaly in the lateral knee compartment. A case report of a young patient with an ar throscopic diagnosis of bilateral hypoplastic lateral menisci is prese nted. We believe the arthroscopist should be familiar with this rare e ntity, even though it might be an incidental finding.
