• Semilunar (C–shaped)
– Medial is more C-shaped and larger and lateral more rounded and smaller

• Divided into anterior and posterior horns and body
• Wedge shaped with biconcavity

1

10/13/2015

Medial Meniscus
• Posterior horn is larger than
anterior horn
• Non-mobile – more firmly
attached to the joint capsule
• Meniscofemoral and
meniscotibial (coronary)
ligaments

Lateral Meniscus
• Anterior = Posterior Horn
• Fibers of ACL extend into anterior horn

• Posterior root attaches anterior to PCL
• Meniscofemoral ligaments – Humphrey
& Wrisberg
• Popliteomeniscal fascicles

Lateral Meniscus
• Fascicles (2-3)
– Meniscocapsular extension around
popliteal hiatus
– Anteroinferior: body LM to
musculotendinous portion of popliteus
– forms floor of hiatus
– Posterosuperior: post horn LM to
popliteus tendon
– forms roof of popliteal hiatus
– If ruptured, can render the LM
hypermobile; pain and locking

10/13/2015

Discoid meniscus
• Watanabe classification: Complete,
Incomplete* and Wrisberg variants
• Non-tapering of apex of meniscus
• Radial diameter > 13 mm
• Increased height >2mm than opp meniscus
• Predisposes to degeneration and tear
• Pain, clicking, mechanical locking

Meniscal Allograft Transplantation

•
•
•
•

The allograft bone slot is incorporated
Mild extrusion of the body segment
Satisfactory position of the horns
No meniscal split

17

Meniscal Allograft Transplantation
Why implant an allograft?
• “Arthroprotection”
– Decrease contact stress on articular cartilage

• Pain relief
• Restore normal / near normal kinematics

• T1rho Mapping
• T2 Mapping
• Sodium MRI
• Ultrashort TE
• gagCEST
• DWI

2

10/12/2015

dGEMRIC
• Utilizes the fixed charge density
(FCD) in cartilage to indirectly
measure GAG content
• Requires intravenous contrast,
exercise, and delay between
injection and image acquisition

• Long scan times and contrast
risk
Bittersohl B, et al. Invest Radiol 2010;45:538-42.

T1rho Mapping
• Non invasive measure of GAG
content
• Inverse relation between T1rho
relaxation time and PG/GAG
content
• T1rho increases with age
• Potential tissue heating risk from
the high RF power required
Matzat SJ et al. Quant Imaging Med Surg 2013;3(3):162-174

T2 Mapping
• Measures water content in cartilage
• Indirect assessment of collagen
content and orientation
• May also be sensitive to PG content
• Susceptible to magic angle,
rendering inaccuracies
• PG depletion occurs prior to
collagen matrix degradation
Mosher TJ, et al. Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2004;8:355-68.

10/12/2015

Sodium MRI
• Sodium cations are attracted to
negatively charged GAGs
• Difficult to generate MR signal with
Na ions
• Need high magnetic field strength
with special coils
• Long scan times

Keys to successful cartilage surgery
• Understand the basic physiology of cartilage repair &
healing with each approach
• Clarify relevant diagnoses stringent indications
• Manage patient expectations
• Attention to surgical detail and rehabilitation
• Do the surgery with which you are most comfortable
