Group Intervention Description Lack of knee flexion Find a link between lack of knee flexion and meniscal posterior luxation fixed During preoperative clinical exam, highlight of a lack of knee flexion. The lack of knee flexion consists in an asymmetric heel-bottom distance or an asymmetric goniometric measure of knee flexion. All others characteristics are also analyzed like in group 2, as : rest of knee motion, MRI meniscus shift, arthroscopic shift
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Meniscal posterior shift per-operative During surgery for MCA-type DLM Visualization of a dislocated posterior meniscus during arthroscopy, before any reduction or meniscoplasty procedure
