- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 6-year-old girl who suffered from severe valgus knee deformity resulting from chondronecrosis after using a radiofrequency (RF) device. Her knees gave out while running and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a complete lateral discoid meniscus. The article discusses clinical long-term results of lateral discoid meniscectomy in children and the concern about thermal damage to cartilage caused by RF devices.
