Abstract

We reported a case of injury to the medial meniscus which was associated with lunula in the left knee joint. The patient was a 24-year-old boy who complained of left knee pain. Roentgenograms showed a loose body in the left knee joint. Arthroscopic findings were rupture of the medial meniscus and no loose body was found. Operative findings showed that the medial meniscus had been ruptured and associated with lunula.
