Experience of Discoid Lesion in the Children's Knees

The are some problems with the treatment of discoid lesion in the childrens knees. First, operative indication should be set. Even if operation is selected, it is often difficult to decide which procedure should be employed between total and partial meniscectimes. Recently, we have treated two children who complained of flexion contracture of the knee without pain or tenderness. The first case was treated by total meniscectomy and the other by partial. We think that partial meniscectomy should be pursued as far as meniscal is cleavage missed or minimum.
