A Current Review of the Meniscus Imaging: Proposition of a Useful Tool for Its Radiologic Analysis

Figure 6

Displaced bucket-handle tear of the medial meniscus. (a) Coronal T2 FSE Fat Sat MRI shows a displaced bucket-handle fragment of the medial meniscus into the intercondylar notch of the knee (arrow). The remnant of the body of the meniscus is small; (b) Coronal T2 FSE Fat Sat MRI shows a displaced bucket-handle fragment of the anterior medial meniscus (arrow); (c) Sagittal T2 FSE Fat Sat MRI shows the “double PCL sign,” with a displaced fragment of a bucket-handle tear into the intercondylar notch of the knee; (d) Sagittal T1-weighted sequence MRI (arrow); (e) three-dimensional diagram shows a displaced bucket-handle tear of the medial meniscus; (f) arthroscopic view of a bucket-handle tear; (g) Coronal T2 FSE Fat Sat MRI shows a double displaced bucket-handle fragment of the medial and lateral meniscus into the intercondylar notch of the knee (arrow); (h) arthroscopic view of a double bucket-handle tear (arrow).
