Diagnostic scope was done and we found an incomplete discoid lateral meniscus with complex vertical tear involving anterior horn with horizontal extension into the midbody ( Fig. 2 ). The finding was an incomplete discoid lateral meniscus with peripheral vertical tear of the anterior horn and partial horizontal tear involving the mid body but not breaching the inner peripheries ( Fig. 2 ).
