ABSTRACT
A consecutive series of 12 patients with cystic degeneration of the external meniscus was treated by selective external meniscectomy with an arthroscopic approach associated with percutaneous decompression of the cystic formation. Selective meniscectomy, on the one hand, allows for the preservation of a vast meniscal surface, thus preserving its functions as a shock-absorber, and on the other, in association with percutaneous decompression, it minimizes the possibility of recurrence. The authors discuss the procedures and advantages of this surgical method, which produced excellent immediate results due to the minimal trauma related to the use of arthroscopy, as well as the medium- and long-term results.
