Thirty-nine patients (forty-four joints) who had been diagnosed as having meniscus perforation of the temporomandibular joint by inferior joint space arthrography and had been treated by surgical procedures were evaluated retrospectively. Information of clinical findings, arthrotomographic findings and surgical findings was collected on a standardized form and evaluated. The results were as follows: 1. On the 34 patients of 38 joints which were surgically confirmed perforation of meniscus or its attachments of the temporomandibular joint, there were 29 females and 5 males (5.8:1). The average age was 36 years (range 17 to 70). 2. The common clinical findings of group that had meniscus displacement without reduction and with perforation were pain on the affected joint and limitation of mouth opening. In the group showing meniscus displacement with reduction and with perforation the common clinical findings were pain and clicking on the affected joint. 3. 32 joints (84.2%) were arthrotomographically anterior meniscus displacement without reduction and with perforation, 6 joints (15.8%) showed anterior meniscus displacement with reduction and with perforation. 4. Joints categorized arthrotomographically as having meniscus displacement without reduction and with perforation were less likely to have full translation of the condyle in comparison with the normal or meniscus displacement with reduction and with perforation groups. (p<0.05) 5.The arthrographic findings of 44 joints having meniscus perforation were compared with surgical findings, there were 6 false positive findings of meniscus perforation, the reliability of arthrographic findings of meniscus perforation was a 86.4% correlation with surgical findings. 6. On the site of perforations of 38 joints which were surgically confirmed perforation of meniscus or its attachments, twenty-three of perforations (60.5%) were in location at the junction of the meniscus and posterior attachment, forteen (36.9%) were located at the posterior attachment and one (2.6%) was at the meniscus itself.

Among the various types of congenital meniscal anomalies, the double-layered lateral meniscus is extremely rare. The double-layered meniscus consists of both the upper additional and the lower normal meniscus. As the upper additional meniscus is mobile, it can be easily displaced, while the lower lateral meniscus is usually normal in shape and volume. A 42-year-old woman suffering from pain and locking of her left knee underwent Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination and an arthroscopic surgery. A rare meniscal abnormality was seen in her left knee, which presented as a double-layered lateral meniscus with displacement. It was remarkable that the upper additional meniscus was displaced over the intercondylar eminence of the tibia and it mimicked a bucket-handle tear. Even though it is rare, it is necessary to consider the possibility of displaced double-layered meniscus in the differential diagnosis of a bucket-handle tear. Here, we report the MRI and arthroscopic findings of a displaced double-layered lateral meniscus, which was similar to the bucket-handle tear.

Discoid meniscus has been well known to a frequent anomaly of meniscus and much reported in diagnosis and treatment. But, associated X-ray findings have not been known well. We reported its significance of X-ray findings in discoid meniscus. From May 1995 to May 1997, 31 cases of discoid meniscus were compared with 51 cases of nondiseoid meniscus both confirmed by arthroscopy, with simple X-my findings. Both groups were evaluated by X-ray findings in view of lateral joint space widening, peripheral spur of lateral joint space, sclerotic change of lateral tibial plateau, concave lateral tibial plateau, flattening of lateral femoral condyle, hypoplasia of lateral femoral condyle and high riding fibula. The results of analysis were as follows: 1. Widening of lateral joint space, sclerotic change of lateral tibial plateau and cupping of lateral tibial plateau were statistically significant in discoid meniscus. 2. X-ray findings in discoid meniscus were not associated with patient's injury history and symptom duration. 3. Other X-ray findings were not related in discoid meniscus significantly. X-ray findings with patient's history and physical examination arc helpful in the diagnosis of discoid meniscus.

원판형 연골은 주로 슬관절의 외측에 나타나며 내측 원판형 연골은 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 1941년 Cave와 Staples가 처음으로 내측 원판형 연골을 보고한 이후 드물게 보고하고 있다. 저자들은 슬관절 동통을 주소로 내원한 8세 남아 환자에서 자기 공명 영상 및 관절경을 이용하여 내측 원판형 연골을 진단하였고 관절경하 연골판 부분 절제술을 시행하였다. 양측성 여부를 확인하기 위해 반대편 연골에 대한 관절경 검사를 시행하였으나 정상이었다. 저자들은 드물게 발생하는 내측 원판형 연골 환자를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

목적 : 전방 십자 인대 재건술시 동반된 반월상 연골의 파열에 대해 meniscus $arrow^{\circledR}$(BIONX, Tampere, Finland)를 이용한 봉합술의 치험예를 통하여 그 유용성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 1997년 5월부터 2000년 7월까지 전방십자인대 재건술과 함께 meniscus arrow를 이용하여 반월상 연골의 봉합술을 시행하고 추시가 가능하였던 17례를 대상으로 하였으며 추시 기간은 평균 18.5개월이었다. 손상 부위는 내측 12례, 외측 5례였고, 손상 형태는 전례에서 종 파열이었으며 red-rd 지역이 13례, red-white 지역이 4례였다. 술후 결과는 반월상 연골에 의한 증상(동통, 관절선 압통, 잠김, McMurray 검사)의 유무에 대해 알아보고 Marshall knee score를 이용하여 술전후 슬관절의 기능적 평가를 시행하였고 합병증에 대해서도 알아보았다. 결과 : 술후 2례에서 경도의 관절선 압통을 보였으나 관절 운동이나 체중 부하시 특별한 동통을 호소하지 않았으며 전례에서 잠김 증상이나 McMurray 검사는 음성이었다. 최종 추시점에서 Marshall knee scoring scale을 이용한 결과는 15례$(88\%)$에서 good 이상의 만족스러운 결과를 보였다. 합병증으로는 1례에서 술후 능동적 관절운동시 슬관절의 내측에 걸리는 느낌의 날카로운 통증을 호소하였으나 술후 6주에 소실되었다. 다른 1례에서 반월상 연골 밖으로 돌출된 arrow의 T-Head에 의한 대퇴골 연골 손상이 있었다. 결론 : 전방십자인대 재건술시 동반된 반월상 연골 손상, 특히 내측 반월상 연골의 후각부 파열에 대해 meniscus arrow를 이용한 봉합술도 하나의 치료방법이 될 수 있으나 연부조직 자극으로 인한 통증과 대퇴골 연골 손상이 발생될 수 있다는 것을 염두에 두어야할 것으로 생각된다.

Discoid meniscus is an uncommon cause of internal derangement of the knee joint. The discoid medial meniscus is much less common than the discoid lateral meniscus. A 15-year-old male student had a incomplete discoid medial meniscus of right knee combined with a horizontal tear. This was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and arthroscopic procedure. Partial meniscectomy was performed arthroscopically. An unevenful recovery followed. We report a case of discoid medial meniscus with brief review of literature.

현재의 반월판 연골손상의 치료법인 부분 봉합술이나 동종이식은 부작용이나 공여자의 부족 등의 많은 문제점이 있다. 따라서 이러한 치료법을 대체할 생체조직공학기술을 이용한 새로운 반월판 연골 재생술이 필요하다. 이 연구에서 생분해성 합성고분자인 PGA와 반월판 연골세포를 이용하여 재생한 조직공학적 반월판 연골은 실제의 반월판 연골조직과 유사함을 확인하였다. 조직공학을 이용한 반월판 연골재생은 반월판 연골손상에 이상적인 치료법이 될 수 있을 것이다.

슬관절에서 외측 원판형 연골판은 흔히 발견되고 있으나, 내측 원판형 연골판의 빈도 및 보고가 드물다. 본 증례에서는 수평 파열과 더불어 상순에 국한된 변연부 파열이 관찰되었으며 이는 정상의 반월상 연골뿐만 아니라 원판형 외측 반월상 연골에서도 보기 드문 형태이다. 다른 정상 연골판이나 원판형 외측 반월상 연골 파열의 형태와 비교하여 본 증례의 파열 기전을 논하였다.

A mathematical model is presented to predict the two-phase flow and heat transfer phenomena of the evaporating extended meniscus region in a micro-channel. The pressure difference at the liquid-vapor interface can be obtained by the augmented Laplace-Young equation. The correlative equations for film thickness, pressure, and velocity in the meniscus region are derived by applying the mass, momentum, and energy equations into the control volume. The results show that increasing the heat flux and the liquid inlet velocity cause the length and liquid film thickness of the extended meniscus region to decrease. The variation, however, of the heat flux and liquid inlet velocity has no effect on the profile of film thickness. The majority of heat is transferred through the thin film region that is a very small region in the extended meniscus region. It is also found that the vapor velocity increases gradually in the meniscus region. However, it increases sharply at the junction of the meniscus and thin film regions.

The discoid meniscus is an innate modified form of the meniscus, characterized by middle hypertrophy and a larger than the regular diameter, leading to an absence of the characteristic "C" arrangement. Previously, no study has reported the traditional Korean medicine treatment of knee pain mainly due to discoid meniscus. Here, we report two cases of a discoid meniscus of the knee as the cause of knee pain. Patients were diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging for discoid meniscus and received traditional Korean medicine treatments, including pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and chuna. The pain was alleviated when assessed by patient-reported pain scale scores, and the general knee condition was improved. Thus, traditional Korean medicine treatments could be effective for patients who had discoid meniscus of the knee joint in this case report.
