Abstract EN

The bucket-handle meniscal tear is a specific type of meniscal injuries which has specific signs on MRI.

An attached fragment displaced away from the meniscus with any type of tear causes bucket-handle tear of the meniscus.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most commonly used diagnostic tool for meniscal injuries.

We present a case of free medial meniscal fragment which mimics the dislocated bucket-handle tear on MRI.

The presence of “fragment within the intercondylar notch sign” and “the absence of the bow tie sign” may be an indication of a free meniscal fragment.

This should be considered during diagnosis.
