Abstract EN
Discoid meniscus is an anatomical congenital anomaly more often found in the lateral meniscus.
A discoid medial meniscus is a very rare anomaly, and even more rare is to diagnose a bilateral discoid medial meniscus although the real prevalence of this situation is unknown because not all the discoid medial menisci are symptomatic and if the contralateral knee is not symptomatic then it is not usually studied.
The standard treatment of this kind of pathology is partial meniscectomy.
Currently the tendency is to be very conservative so suture and saucerization of a torn discoid meniscus when possible are gaining support.
We present the case of a 13-year-old patient who was diagnosed with symptomatic torn bilateral discoid medial meniscus treated by suturing the tear and saucerization.
To the best of our knowledge this is the first case reported of bilateral torn discoid medial meniscus treated in this manner in the same patient.
