Variation in Arthroscopic Treatment of Discoid Lateral Meniscus and Postoperative Restrictions in Children: Results of a Multicenter Meniscus Study Group Survey
Agreement regarding the surgical technique and postoperative rehabilitation among surgeons with experience in the treatment of DLM is poor in the event of tears and instability, which represent the greatest technical challenges with the most significant functional effect. Given the relative rarity of the condition and the implications on a child's long-term joint health, prospective, comparative multicenter studies regarding treatment algorithms and outcomes are warranted.
