Abstract
As pediatric youth sports involvement has increased, there has been an increase in meniscus tears associated with acute pediatric knee injuries. The meniscus of pediatric patients has a more robust blood supply which may help its healing potential. The discoid meniscus is an anatomical variant that is more prone to meniscal tears in pediatric patients. Meniscectomy and saucerization are usually the treatment of choice for the complex meniscus tear and the discoid meniscus tear. Meniscus repair should be attempted when at all possible due to the good outcomes associated with meniscus repair and poor results associated with meniscectomy in pediatric patients.
期刊介绍：
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review helps physicians digest the large volume of clinical literature in sports medicine and arthroscopy, identify the most important new developments, and apply new information effectively in clinical practice. Each issue is guest-edited by an acknowledged expert and focuses on a single topic or controversy. The Guest Editor invites the leading specialists on the topic to write review articles that highlight the most important advances. This unique format makes the journal more in-depth, authoritative, and practical than most publications in this field. The journal also includes dozens of full-color and black-and-white arthroscopic images and illustrations.
