The current study aims to evaluate the mid\u2010 to long\u2010term outcomes of arthroscopic meniscoplasty for discoid lateral meniscus in children and adolescents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the study, all patients under the age of 21 years who had undergone arthroscopic meniscoplasty with or without meniscal repair or partial meniscectomy for symptomatic lateral discoid meniscus were included. All patients were then followed up for a minimum of 5 years (median 84\u00a0months; range 68<jats:italic>\u2013<\/jats:italic>110\u00a0months). The Lysholm scores and Ikeuchi scores were collected pre\u2010operatively and at final follow\u2010up and were compared.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 24\u00a0knees were included in the study. The median duration of follow\u2010up was 84.0\u00a0months (range 68<jats:italic>\u2013<\/jats:italic>110\u00a0months). The Lysholm score improved from 53 (range 11<jats:italic>\u2013<\/jats:italic>95) pre\u2010operatively to 100.0 (range 60<jats:italic>\u2013<\/jats:italic>100) at final follow\u2010up (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Based on the Ikeuchi score pre\u2010operatively, 15\u00a0knees were rated as poor (62.5%), 7\u00a0knees were rated as fair (29.2%), and 2\u00a0knees were rated as good (8.4%). The Ikeuchi score improved significantly at the final follow\u2010up, such that 1\u00a0knee was rated as good (4.2%) and 23\u00a0knees were rated as excellent (95.8%) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). When analysing the effect of concomitant meniscal repair or partial meniscectomy on the outcomes at final follow\u2010up, there was no apparent difference in the improvement in Lysholm score or Ikeuchi score when comparing between patients who had meniscoplasty alone and patients who had concomitant meniscal repair, as well as when comparing between patients who had meniscoplasty alone and patients who had concomitant partial meniscectomy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Meniscoplasty leads to good mid\u2010term to long\u2010term outcomes for children and adolescents with discoid lateral meniscus. Concomitant procedures such as meniscal repair or partial meniscectomy do not improve or worsen the mid\u2010 to long\u2010term outcomes in these
