[Meniscus update].
Radiologie (Heidelb) 2024 April
Meniscus tears are classified as horizontal, longitudinal, radial, and complex tears. Flap tears are a specific form in which a portion of the meniscus is displaced from a horizontal or longitudinal tear. The question of whether it is possible to preserve the meniscus by meniscus repair is of crucial therapeutic importance. It is therefore important to specify not only the configuration of the tear but also its extent and location as precisely as possible. Cooper's zonal classification should also be used for this purpose. Lesions of the meniscus roots are of high clinical relevance. On the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, root lesions are usually degenerative; on the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, they are often traumatic. It is important to familiarize oneself with the normal appearance and anatomical location of the meniscal roots. Ramp lesions have received particular attention in recent years, especially in patients with anterior cruciate ligament tears. Therefore, particularly the integrity of the attachment of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus to the tibial plateau must be analyzed. If the meniscotibial ligament tears along its course or at the insertion to the meniscus or if it avulses with a meniscus fragment, this is a ramp lesion.
