In a suburban area of Copenhagen with approximately 620,000 inhabitants, all the openly operated on meniscal lesions of the knee joint between 1982 and 1984 inclusive were reviewed. The mean annual incidence of meniscal lesions per 10,000 inhabitants was 9.0 in males and 4.2 in females. The highest incidences were seen in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th decades of life. A higher frequency of trauma related to onset of symptoms was found among males (77 percent) than among females (64 percent). The bucket-handle lesion was the most frequent type of meniscal lesion in males (35 percent), whereas peripheral detachment was the most frequent in females (41 percent). A variable frequency of trauma inducing the lesions in males and females did not explain differences in type of meniscal lesion. Nineteen percent of our 1,215 patients had a partial meniscectomy, whereas 0.7 percent had meniscal repair.
在哥本哈根一个约有62万居民的郊区，对1982年至1984年（含）期间所有因膝关节半月板损伤而接受开放性手术的患者进行了回顾性研究。每10000名居民中半月板损伤的年均发病率男性为9.0，女性为4.2。最高发病率出现在生命的第三个、第四个和第五个十年。与症状发作相关的创伤发生率男性（77%）高于女性（64%）。桶柄状损伤是男性中最常见的半月板损伤类型（35%），而周边分离在女性中最常见（41%）。男性和女性中导致损伤的创伤频率不同并不能解释半月板损伤类型的差异。在我们的1215名患者中，19%接受了部分半月板切除术，而0.7%接受了半月板修复术。
