Incidence of symptomatic discoid meniscus in Korea: epidemiologic big data analysis from HIRA database
The total number and incidence of symptomatic discoid as well as the discoid meniscus ratio and the incidence of total discoid meniscus repair steadily increased from 2011 to 2019. The number of meniscus repair procedures increased more rapidly than that of meniscectomy. The current study helps understand the epidemiology of symptomatic discoid meniscus, its prevention, and cost-saving measures in South Korea.
