Discoid meniscus (congenital) - what does this mean
Discoid meniscus is a congenital condition in which the meniscus, a fibrocartilaginous structure in the knee joint that provides cushioning and stability, is abnormally shaped. it is characterized by a thickened and flattened meniscus, which can cause pain, clicking, locking, and instability of the knee joint.
What happens during the disease - discoid meniscus (congenital)
Discoid meniscus is a congenital disorder that occurs when the meniscus, a cartilaginous structure in the knee joint, fails to form properly in the womb. this can lead to malformation of the meniscus and a reduced ability to absorb shock and distribute weight across the joint, leading to increased stress on the joint and cartilage, as well as instability and pain.
