Abstract
Isolated meniscus tears with consecutive complete luxation of the meniscus are an exceptional injury especially in children. We report a case of an 11-year-old girl with a complete luxation of the lateral meniscus, injured by a jump from low height. Following clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging, a surgical refixation of the entire lateral meniscus was performed. Short-time clinical and radiological follow-up was conducted.
