Objective To study the arthroscopic treatment results for discoid lateral meniscus injury of the knee in children. Methods 74 children patients, including 98 knees underwent arthroscopic treatment due to discoid lateral meniscus injury were followed up. By Watanabe classification, incomplete discoid menis-cus was seen in 34 knees, complete in 42 and Wrisberg type in 22. The methods of treatment were partial, subtotal or total meniscectomy. The follow-up time ranged from 3 to 24 months, averaged 8 months. The re-sults were analyzed according to Lysholm knee evaluation method. Results By Lysholm evaluation the re-sults were excellent in 68 knees (69. 4%) and good in 30 (30. 6%). Conclusion Arthroscopic treatment is a reliable way for discoid lateral meniscus injury in children.
