Tears of the posterior meniscal root significantly compromise the ability of the meniscus to convert axial loads into circumferential hoop stresses, resulting in loss of meniscal function and increased joint contact pressures

This clinical case aims to explore the evolution of hip resurfacing techniques and the approach to revision surgery in the context of major bone loss, illustrated by the case of a 56-year-old man with a history of bilateral hip resurfacing, presenting with suspected occupational chromium poisoning.

Accurate and timely diagnosis of lateral meniscus radial tears is crucial. These tears disrupt circumferential fibers, impairing meniscal function and joint stability. Often underdiagnosed on imaging, they require careful arthroscopic evaluation when suspected.
