Quantitative measurements of the meniscus. Left: Geometric quantities for analysis of meniscal shape, LD (longitudinal diameter), AWT (anterior wedge thickness), AWW (anterior wedge width), PWW (posterior wedge width), PWT (posterior wedge thickness), AWA (anterior wedge angle), PWA (posterior wedge angle). Right: Amount of meniscal extrusion. The tibial end and meniscal end are manually identified from the magnetic resonance coronal slice (blue arrows), then the horizontal distance between them (red arrows) is defined as the amount of meniscal extrusion
