Lesions of the meniscus. Part I: Macroscopic and histologic findings.

Systematic macroscopic and microscopic measurements of the tibial surface of 70 menisci helped to reveal associated minimal dysplastic lesions. The normal meniscus is divided into upper and lower areas by the middle perforating bundle. Considering its high frequency, a minimal myxoid degeneration in the center of the meniscus is normal. Classic myxoid degeneration may be divided into 2 types. Type A or parameniscal cystic degeneration, and Type B or intrameniscal myxoid degeneration. The intrameniscal myxoid degeneration is a nonspecific reaction to injury. Parameniscal mucoid degeneration constitutes the substrate of lateral meniscal cysts.

Lesions of the meniscus. Part II: Horizontal cleavages and lateral cysts.

Horizontal cleavages and lateral cysts were examined in a series of 70 menisci. The horizontal cleavage (HC) is the most frequent form of tear, occurring most often in the middle third of the lateral meniscus. Horizontal cleavages which reach the base of the meniscus triangle connect with parameniscal cysts. Extension of the horizontal cleavage into the parameniscal region seems to be, therefore, the cause of cyst formation.
