Abstract
A discoid meniscus is a thick meniscus, discoid in shape rather than h aving the normal semilunar configuration. Discoid meniscus is consider ed an uncommon lesion; discoid medial meniscus is rare and involvement of the medial meniscus bilaterally is extremely ran. This is the firs t case report of bilateral discoid medial menisci with symmetrical rad ial tears. The patient was treated successfully by excision of the cen tral anomalous discoid portion of the menisci, using arthroscopic tech niques.
