Abstract
There is a high rate of missed lateral meniscus posterior root tear from pre operative magnetics resonance image (MRI) as reported in the study of Krych AJ.1 It was found that there was a high frequency (67%) of tears that were missed on preoperative MRI in this consecutive series. In our case report we present the case that missed lateral posterior meniscus root tear from pre operative MRI in the setting concomittant with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
