Discoid menisci are thought to be heritable. However, few documented cases of this occurring within families exist. We present the case of siblings with lateral discoid menisci, documented by knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), reinforcing the case for the existence of familial discoid menisci. The children's father also reportedly had a discoid meniscus, but proof was unavailable due to his country of origin's poor record keeping. We put this into the context of other rare, reports of similar cases. We present further case of discoid menisci occurring within families, a long-held belief with little concrete supporting evidence.
盘状半月板被认为具有遗传性。然而，家族中出现这种情况的记录案例很少。我们报告了一例经膝关节磁共振成像（MRI）证实的患有外侧盘状半月板的兄弟姐妹病例，进一步证明了家族性盘状半月板的存在。据报道，这两个孩子的父亲也有盘状半月板，但由于其原籍国记录保存不善，无法提供证据。我们将此与其他类似罕见病例的报告联系起来。我们进一步介绍了家族中出现盘状半月板的病例，这是一个长期以来的观点，但几乎没有确凿的支持证据。
