MRI reveals a well-defined triangular-shaped lesion within the root of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. The lesion has the same signal characteristics to the adjacent osseous structures on all sequences and most compatible with meniscal ossicle.
Additional complex tear of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus with a flipped fragment extending into the intercondylar notch.
Case Discussion
Meniscal ossicle is an uncommon condition and usually found within the posterior horn and root of the medial meniscus.
