- Abstract
The article presents information on a man suffering from a bone disease. A 34-year-old man was referred to an orthopedic surgeon after twisting his right knee. He had ongoing pain and locking and could not fully extend the joint. Physical examination revealed marked tenderness along the medial joint line and reduced passive and active joint extension. Plain radiographs showed no abnormality, so he underwent magnetic resonance imaging. A bucket-handle tear is an important type of meniscal injury and nearly always involves the medial meniscus. Bucket-handle tears are generally managed by arthroscopic resection of the displaced fragment.
