Home Page Magnetic resonance imaging of a symptomatic meniscal ossicle.
Meniscal ossicles are uncommon in humans.
They are usually located in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and are generally first observed on roentgenograms as intraarticular corticated bone densities. Many different entities appear similar to meniscal ossicles on roentgenography. An associated medial meniscus tear was found at arthroscopy. The patient's symptoms were relieved after resection of the meniscal ossicle and the associated meniscal tear.
