29-year-old man, 4 days post twisting injury

29M 4 days post twisting injury with ACL tear (yellow arrow)

Note acute avulsion Posterior Horn medial meniscal root (red arrow)



Blue arrow indicates torn Popliteofibular ligament
There are Gr I sprains of the LCL complex and Gr I Popliteal myotendinous strain

White Arrow indicate torn Arcuate ligament  with posterolateral pericapsular edema
 Excellent reference by Humberto Rosas

Hypermobile Discoid Lateral Meniscus



This adolescent has had recent, recurrent soccer injury.  Now there is an anteriorly flipped discoid lateral menicus, as if a bucket handle type injury.  16 months ago after a prior injury there was widening of the posterolateral meniscocapsular junction with grunge where I might expect the popliteomeniscal fascicles.  Either they were torn, or perhaps they were absent, as in a Wrisberg variant Discoid LM.
