Incidence of meniscal lesions in children. Increase associated with diagnostic arthroscopy

P Abdon et al. Acta Orthop Scand. 1989 Dec.

Abstract

In the population of Malmö the average annual incidence of symptomatic meniscal lesions in children increased from 0.7 to 2.5 per 10,000 from 1960-1965 inclusive to 1980-1985 inclusive. Soccer was the predominant cause of the lesions, and the increased incidence of the diagnosis was associated with the introduction of arthroscopy.
