Table 4 Comparison of tear patterns: complete vs. incomplete types
From: Symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus: a clinical and arthroscopic study in a Chinese population
Types | Radial | Horizontal | Longitudinal | Complex | No tear | p- value | Coefficient of association |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Complete | 20 (5.8) | 118 (34.3) | 107 (31.1) | 82 (23.9) | 17 (4.9) | <0.0001a* | 0.38 |
Incomplete | 42 (28.2) | 15 (10.1) | 62 (41.6) | 17 (11.4) | 13 (8.7) |
