Arthroscopic meniscal repair has emerged as the preferred treatment approach for symptomatic cases, prioritizingmeniscal preservation to maintain knee jointintegrityand function.  \nObjectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiological and functional outcome of arthroscopic meniscal repair of DM using validated clinical scoresand post-operative imaging.  \nMaterials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 40 patients aged 10–40 years at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital. Arthroscopic meniscal repair consisted of an all-inside procedure, an inside-out procedure, or an outside-in procedure, based on the involved location. Functional outcomes ofthe post-operation have been determined, as well asthe pre-operative rating systems of the Lysholm Knee Score on functionality. Minimum follow-up of the patients (24 months into the future)was followed to verify short-term healing, besides checking the long-term effects of the patients at earlier patients.  \nResults: Themajority of patientswere male (60%) and presented with symptoms such as knee pain and thud (43.33%). Themeanpre-operative Lysholm score was 56.20, which significantly improved to 91.29 postoperatively (P \u003C 0.001). According totheLysholm score grading, 83.3% of patients achieved good outcomes, 3.33% excellent, and 13.3% fair. No poor outcomes were observed. Radiology showed satisfactory joint presentation in all cases.  \nConclusion: Arthroscopic meniscal repair for DM leads to significant functional improvement and satisfactory radiological outcomes. This technique is particularly beneficial for young, active individuals, contributing to joint preservation and reducing the risk ofearly osteoarthritis. Further long-term studies with larger cohorts are recommended to confirm sustained benefits and monitor degenerative changes.  \nKeywords: symptomatic discoid meniscus, arthroscopic meniscus repair discoid meniscus saucerization discoid meniscus repair outcome  \nIntroduction  \nDiscoid meniscus (DM), a congenital anomaly of the meniscal form, is distinguished by a diameter greater thanthat ofa normal meniscus and a characteristic central hypertrophy [ 1] . The characteristic “C-shape” is lost as a result of this abnormality.  \nVariations in meniscal tissue structure and stability are part of this condition's spectrum. Since DMis frequentlyasymptomatic, the actual prevalence is unclear; however, the incidence is around 0.4–17% for the lateral and 0.1–0.3% for themedial [1].  \nBilateral DM is also more common in India; in patients with  \n\n| \u003Cbr>Access this article online\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Website: [www.jocr.co.in](www.jocr.co.in)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>DOI:\u003Cbr>[https://doi.org/10.13107/jocr.2025.v15.i12.6542](https://doi.org/10.13107/jocr.2025.v15.i12.6542) | Author’s Photo Gallery |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | | | \u003Cbr>Dr. Gowtham Senguttuvan |\n|  | \u003Cbr>1Department of Orthopaedics, Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.\u003Cbr>Address of Correspondence:\u003Cbr>Dr. B Ram Shankar,\u003Cbr>Department of Orthopaedics, Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.\u003Cbr>E-mail: [ramshankarbala@gmail.com](ramshankarbala@gmail.com) |  |  |\n| Submitted: 26/09/2025; Review: 21/10/2025; Accepted: November 2025; Published: December 2025 |  |  |  |\n| DOI: [https://doi.org/10.1","cbCaidW4rTkkQRaF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidW4rTkkQRaF","pdf",8770001,"English","# Introduction\n## Objectives\n## Materials and Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n# Keywords","[{\"question\":\"What does the study evaluate for discoid meniscus patients?\",\"answer\":\"It evaluates both radiological and functional outcomes after arthroscopic meniscal repair for discoid meniscus using validated clinical scores and post-operative imaging.\"},{\"question\":\"How were functional outcomes measured?\",\"answer\":\"Functional outcomes were measured using the Lysholm Knee Score, comparing pre-operative ratings with post-operative results.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main results of the arthroscopic repair?\",\"answer\":\"Most patients achieved good or excellent outcomes, the Lysholm score improved significantly (56.20 to 91.29, P\\u003c0.001), and radiology showed satisfactory joint presentation in all cases.\"}]","Functional and Radiological Outcome of Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair for Discoid Meniscus | PDF",1790721921,23]
