The meniscus has been forgotten!
It is not long ago that any suspicion of a meniscal lesion eventually led to an open meniscectomy, which in most of the cases was total. This solution was widely proposed as it was considered to be a simple and effective procedure followed by speedy recovery. It was recommended mainly because the importance of the biomechanical role of the meniscus was not recognized.
