L. Bmi, M. , and T. , were tested using a one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. All variables were normally distributed except TFI (p < 0.001). The means, standard deviations (SD)

, 54 patients with an isolated LM tear (group 2), 34 patients with tears of both menisci, there were 113 patients with an isolated MM tear

, Similarly, tears of the LM tended to be distributed more posteriorly and involve mainly the PH, followed by the tears involving both the PH and body. Tears of the anterior parts of the menisci were seen least frequently. The distribution of meniscal tears across the different anatomical

, 3°) compared to that of the patients without tears (7.5°) (p = 0.007). The MTS did not influence the incidence of meniscus tears in any groups

, The overall incidence of meniscal tears in the present study was 55% (31% for MM, 15% for LM, and 9% for both menisci)

, Various mechanisms affect the frequency of medial and lateral meniscal tears, including lower limb alignment, load distribution, and delay of intervention. The incidence of LM tears remained relatively unchanged with time, while MM tears increased with time

. Biomechanically, This may account for the high incidence of MM tears, but further studies are necessary to prove this theory. The most common tear location in the MM in our study was the PH, with the most common tear types being vertical tears (33%), followed by bucket-handle tears (18%), and peripheral tears (12%), MM is a secondary stabilizer of the knee against anterior displacement of the tibia in the ACL-injured knee and is subjected to anteroposterior shear forces

, More bucket-handle tears were seen in the MM than in the LM. These findings are consistent with other studies

. Cerabona, have theorized that the recurrent trauma sustained by the MM while acting as a cushion in the ACL-deficient knee leads to PH tears, vol.16

, This may be due to its relative immobility

, It has been reported that approximately 15% of meniscal tears are radial tears, with 20% of these tears occurring in the PH of the LM, which may be more susceptible to radial tears due to a lack of ligamentous support, vol.17
