Methods 74 children patients, including 98 knees underwent arthroscopic treatment due to discoid lateral meniscus injury were followed up. By Watanabe classification, incomplete discoid menis-cus was seen in 34 knees, complete in 42 and Wrisberg type in 22. The methods of treatment were partial, subtotal or total meniscectomy. The follow-up time ranged from 3 to 24 months, averaged 8 months. The re-sults were analyzed according to Lysholm knee evaluation method. Results By Lysholm evaluation the re-sults were excellent in 68 knees (69. 4%) and good in 30 (30. 6%). Conclusion Arthroscopic treatment is a reliable way for discoid lateral meniscus injury in children.展开更多
