<unk>  on coronal proton-density weighted MRI The transverse diameter of a normal<unk>  is approximately 10 to 11 mm; therefore a normal<unk>  body will be visible on only 2 slices of a MR with 4-5-mm sagittal slices. A<unk>  should be considered if more than two contiguous body segments are present. However, this method may lead to a false negative when evaluating people with the Wrisberg variant of<unk>  since it maintains a narrow crescent shape. Coronal and radial images of the<unk>  are useful to demonstrate the extension of the aberrant<unk>  into the joint as seen here. On coronal images, it is diagnosed when the horizontal measurement between the free margin and the periphery of the body is more than 1.4 cm. Rarely, X-ray may show lateral joint space widening, squaring of the lateral condyle, cupping of the lateral tibial plateau and hypoplasia of the lateral tibial spine that suggest<unk> . Treatment/Management In a patient complaining of acute onset knee pain, an X-ray study would be done to rule out any bony pathology such as a fracture. Since it is difficult to diagnose meniscal anomalies with X-ray, an MRI would be necessary to visualize the<unk> . If the patient is asymptomatic and does not complain of significant locking sensation in the knee or pain, treatment is conservative and consists of stretching and strengthening exercises for the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. “In cases where there is significant disability, surgical excision may be needed. When the<unk>  is severely damaged, total excision of the<unk>  may be necessary. In most cases where the<unk>  is still generally intact, a partial excision to preserve the cushioning function may be sufficient.”
