Abstract

We report here an unusual case of medial meniscal hematoma of the knee joint. A review of the literature has revealed only one case that was previously reported. The authors present the successful decompression of the posterior horn of a medial meniscal hematoma through the direct posterior-posterior triangulation arthroscopic visualization method. We present here the case report.
