Résumé
Menisci are involved in providing shock absorption, knee stability, and load transfer. Age, tear pattern, location, size and extent, repair time and technique, and patient habits are among various factors that affect meniscal healing. Meniscus repair has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of meniscal tears. However, treatment of meniscal tears in patients over 40 years of age is still debatable. Rare patterns of lesions have been described in the literature. We report a zone 2, partial thickness, "bucket-handle like tear" medial meniscal lesion with two attached ends in a 48-year-old male patient with persistent symptoms after six months of conservative treatment. Arthroscopic excision and debridement were performed. At a six-month follow-up, the patient regained 90% of his functional capacity.
