The arthroscopic image shows a right knee with a bucket-handle tear of the lateral meniscus as viewed from the anterolateral portal and the knee at 90° of flexion. Subsequent debridement of the remnant meniscus edge is performed to maximize the healing response. In this picture, the displaced fragment of the lateral meniscus can be seen within the intercondylar femoral notch, adjacent to the ACL. (ACL, anterior cruciate ligament; LFC, lateral femoral condyle.)
