Abstract

The causes of snapping knee include meniscal instability, but dynamic ultrasonographic findings have rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of snapping knee due to direct trauma to the right knee of a 79-year-old woman. Dynamic ultrasonography is used to confirm the snapping phenomenon caused by the anterosuperior displacement of the truncated posterior horn and body of the right medial meniscus.

무릎 퉁김 현상의 원인 중에서 반달연골의 불안정에 의해서 발생하는 무릎 퉁김을 소개하는 논문은 드물며, 특히 실시간 초음파 소견을 소개한 논문도 드물다. 우리는 오른쪽 무릎에 직접적인 손상을 받은 후 무릎 퉁김이 발생한 79세 여자 환자를 보고하고자 하며, 절단된 오른쪽 내측 반달연골의 뒤뿔과 몸통의 앞위쪽 전위에 의해 발생한 퉁김현상을 실시간 초음파를 사용하여 확인하였다.
