Abstract
ABSTRACT: This report of a patient with a discoid lateral meniscus is of interest due to its association with a deep distinct cupping of the underlying lateral tibial plateau. This radiographic finding, if present on plain roentgenograms, should alert one to the possibility of a discoid meniscus.
