Ramp Lesion
A visual journey through orthopedic conditions. Discover the pathology in medical imaging, then in real life. A clear and focused perspective.
The proper management of medial meniscus ramp lesions in the context of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction depends on accurate diagnosis. It is essential to identify these lesions on preoperative MRI and to systematically complement imaging with arthroscopic exploration of the posteromedial compartment of the knee. This serves as an example of the importance of both diagnosing and treating these lesions appropriately.
