Magnetic resonance imaging, performed in 12 cases, and arthroscopy in all of these patients provided the precise diagnosis. All of the knees with symptomatic torn discoid menisci underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Only 1 Watanabe Wrisberg ligament type of discoid meniscus with posterior instability was totally meniscected. Based on Ikeuchi's grading, 39% of the knees had an excellent result, 46% had a good result, and 15% had a fair result; none of the results was poor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At an average 5\u2010year follow\u2010up, partial meniscectomy in patients with a Watanabe complete or incomplete discoid meniscus showed 85% good or excellent clinical results.
