BACKGROUND: Anomalies of the meniscus are uncommon. These anomalous formations have been predominately described in the lateral compartment of the knee. Congenital abnormalities of the medial meniscus are rare.
METHODS: Chart and radiographic review of a single patient with a symptomatic congenital abnormality of the medial meniscus.
RESULTS: The patient was a 5-year-old boy with popliteal pterygium who developed painful snapping in the medial knee after anterior hemiepiphyseodesis to improve his knee extension. The patient had achieved full-knee extension from a preoperative 45-degree flexion contracture. The newly developed snapping was attributed to the hemiepiphyseodesis implants. After implant removal, the snapping persisted and was localized at the medial joint line. Through an arthrotomy, a medial meniscus abnormality was identified and excised with resolution of symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: This report describes a symptomatic congenital abnormality of the medial meniscus in a child with popliteal pterygium. The patient was treated with excision of the anomalous structure with complete resolution of the symptoms. This is the first report of an intra-articular knee anomaly associated with popliteal pterygium syndrome.
