Most of discoid menisci are lateral and medial discoid meniscus is very rare. There is no report about simultaneous medial and lateral discoid meniscus in one knee joint. A 15-year-old male patient was diagnosed as having a complete medial discoid meniscus with horizontal tear and intact incomplete lateral discoid meniscus by means of magnetic resonance image and arthroscopy. The patient was treated by arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for both discoid menisci.

The closed-form expressions of the vector gravity and gravity gradient tensor due to a circular disk are derived. The gravity potential due to a circular disk with a constant density is defined for a cylindrical system. Then, the vector gravity is derived by differentiating the gravity potential with respect to cylindrical coordinates. The radial component of the vector gravity in the cylindrical system is converted into horizontal gravity components in the Cartesian system. Finally, the gravity gradient tensor due to a circular disk is obtained by differentiating the vector gravity with respect to the Cartesian coordinates.

The lateral meniscus is morphologically more variable than the medial meniscus. An abnormal lateral meniscus also varies with respect to its size, shape and stability, and such variations can occur in any patient of any age. The most common variant is a discoid lateral meniscus. We recently encountered a patient with a discoid lateral meniscus for which the anterior horn of the meniscus was anomalously inserted into the anterior ACL. The patient was forty five years old women who had persistent pain for three to four years without any specific trauma history. She was preoperatively diagnosed as having discoid lateral meniscus by MRI, and was confirmed the presence of the complex tear and anomalous insertion of the anterior horn of the discoid lateral meniscus into the anterior ACL by arthroscopic examination. Arthroscopic subtotal meniscectomy was performed and the symptoms were improved after surgery.

Experimental investigations are performed for the rarefied gas flows in a multi-stage disk-type drag pump. The pump considered in the present study consists of grooved rotors and stators. The flow-meter method is adopted to calculate the pumping speed. Compression ratios and pumping speeds for the nitrogen gas are measured under the outlet pressure range of 0.13∼533 Pa. The present experimental data show the leak-limited value of the compression ratio in the molecular transition region. The rotational speed of the pump is 24,000rpm, and nitrogen is used as a test gas. The pumping characteristics of various drag pumps are performed. The inlet pressures are measured for various outlet pressures of the test pump. The ultimate pressures for zero throughput are measured for three-stage, two-stage and single-stage disk-type, respectively.

In children, the snapping-knee syndrome is strongly suggestive of a diagnosis of discoid menisci. Furthermore the loss of extension of the knee suggests a diagnosis of torn lateral discoid meniscus. Symptomatic lateral discoid meniscus tear in a very young child, especially under the 3-year-old, was very rarely reported and the treatment protocol has not been established. Some therapeutic advancement was achieved in symptomatic lateral discoid meniscus but still technical difficulties exist. We undergone arthroscopic meniscal reshaping in a 26-month-old girl. At the time of postoperatively 2-year 9-month follow up, excellent result has achieved in clinical and functional outcome according to the scale of Ikeuchi without recurrence of symptom or postoperative complication. We reported out experience and results that arthroscopic reshaping procedure was done for management of symptomatic lateral discoid meniscus in a 26-month-old girl.

In case axial symmetrical bodies with varying cross sections such as volcanic conduits and unexploded ordnance (UXO), it is efficient to approximate them by adding the response of thin disks perpendicular to the axis of symmetry. To compute the vector magnetic and magnetic gradient tensor respones by such bodies, it is necessary to derive an analytical expression of the circular disk. Therefore, in this study, we drive closed-form expressions of the vector magnetic and magnetic gradient tensor due to a circular disk. First, the vector magnetic field is obtained from the existing gravity gradient tensor using Poisson's relation where the gravity gradient tensor due to the same disk with a constant density can be transformed into a magnetic field. Then, the magnetic gradient tensor is derived by differentiating the vector magnetic field with respect to the cylindrical coordinates converted from the Cartesian coordinate system. Finally, both the vector magnetic and magnetic gradient tensors are derived using Lipschitz-Hankel type integrals based on the axial symmetry of the circular disk.

The meniscal cyst of knee joint is a rare disease, and the discoid meniscal cyst has not been reported in Korea. We report 3 cases of the discoid meniscal cyst confirmed by MRI and arthroscopy. In physical examination, all cases have tenderness of the knee joint. One has palpable mass of knee joint and the other one has limitation of knee motion with knee flexion contracture of 10 degrees and positive McMurray test at external rotation of the knee. All cases are complete discoid meniscus, which are, one medial discoid meniscus and two lateral discoid meniscus through MRI. We confirmed horizontal tear of meniscus in all cases and the location of meniscal cysts are anterior hem of meniscus in one and body of meniscus in two. We could get excellent results in all 3 cases that return to normal knee range of motion.

Purpose : To report the 'condylar cut-off sign', a new radiographic sign in knees with discoid lateral meniscus and to report the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the sign to elucidate the diagnostic significance of the sign for discoid meniscus. Materials and Methods : Fifty knees with complete discoid lateral meniscus and fifty normal knees formed the basis of this study. All of them were arthroscopically confirmed fer the discoid or normal lateral meniscus. The authors developed a method to measure the length of the medial and lateral condylar were compare and analyzed. Results : Tile average ratio was 0.716 in the discoid meniscus group, and 0.902 in the normal group. The stastistical analysis by the T-test revealed the t-value -11.13(p<0.0001). Stastistical analysis by chi-square test using cut point 0.8, also showed significant difference between the two groups, with $76\%$ sensitivity, $100\%$ specificity, $100\%$ positive predictive predictive value and $81\%$ negative predictive value. The 'condylar cut-off sign' was readily detectable in all cases of discoid lateral meniscus, suggesting that the cut off sign could serve as a simple and reliable radiographic sign fur the diagnosis of discoid meniscus. Conclusion : The condylar cut-off sign on the Tunnel view of simple radiography of the knee can serve as a good sign for the diagnosis of discoid lateral meniscus, with $100\%$ positive predictive value.

The objective of this case report was to evaluate meniscal suturing for a young patient with a chronic radial tear of the incomplete discoid lateral meniscus. The patient underwent saucerization in conjunction with repair of the displaced radial tear of the discoid meniscus. Six-months after surgery, arthroscopic examination showed the repaired meniscus to be healed well with good continuity. Repair of radial tears, even chronic tears, should be considered for young patients with torn discoid lateral menisci.
