Fig 6.

Lateral meniscus (right knee). Using the medial infrapatellar portal, the lateral compartment is entered. The lateral meniscus (LM) is evaluated in a posterior-to-superior direction. Here a tear of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus (star) is visualized. Inspection of the lateral femoral (LF) and tibial (LT) cartilage should be performed. If there is diffculty with visualization, the lateral infrapatellar portal may be used to complete the full assessment of the lateral compartment.
