We examined 132 disordered knees of athletes arthroscopically. Meniscal lesions were found in about half of all cases. The incidence of discoid lateral meniscal disorder was higher in school-age athletes.
A characteristic pattern of knee disorders was noticed in each sport. Injuries of ACL and disorders of the patellofemoral joints were found especially in volleyball and basketball players, and complex ligamentous injuries were common in contact sports such as soccer and rugby. We discuss the mechanism of the disorders found in each sport.
