          Abstract

          Meniscal ossicle, or bone within the substance of meniscus, is a rare entity and commonly confused with a loose body both clinically and radiologically. MRI is the modality that can definitely diagnose meniscal ossicle and avoid unnecessary diagnostic arthroscopy. Here we report one such case diagnosed using MRI; this patient is doing well without surgery one year after diagnosis.

          Meniscal ossicle: radiographic and MR imaging findings.

          H Genant, P Tirman, J Crues … (1995)
          To determine the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging appearance of meniscal ossicles and correlate that with the radiographic and clinical features. Radiographs and MR images were studied retrospectively in six patients with meniscal ossicles; all patients had intermittent discomfort in the knee, and five patients had experienced knee trauma. Imaging findings were correlated with the clinical history. Four patients underwent arthroscopy. All patients had a visible ossicle on conventional radiographs initially interpreted as a loose joint body. MR imaging features included a corticated marrow-containing structure within the substance of the medial meniscus near the tibial attachment that appeared as a rounded focus of increased signal intensity on T1-weighted images that decreased in signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Meniscal ossicles have a characteristic MR appearance that may help distinguish them from loose bodies. They should be considered diagnostically when a circumscribed ossification is identified near the posterior horn of the medial meniscus on radiographs.
