Diagnosis by Manual Maneuver of Medial Meniscus Ramp Lesions.

ABSTRACT: The intra-articular injury most often associated with a chronic anterior cruciate ligament tear involves the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. A specific type of medial meniscal injury, called a ramp lesion, has received greater attention for identification and treatment because of its considerable incidence and diagnostic difficulty. Based on their location, these lesions may be arthroscopically "hidden" during traditional anterior visualization. The purpose of the present Technical Note is to describe the Recife maneuver. This maneuver diagnoses injuries to the posterior horn of the medial meniscus using additional arthroscopic management through a standard portal. The Recife maneuver is performed with the patient in the supine position. A 30° arthroscope is inserted through the ant
