The reported incidence of meniscal tears in the pediatric age group has increased because of increased sports participation and more widespread use of MRI. Meniscal injury is one of the most commonly reported internal derangements in skeletally immature knees and can be associated with early degenerative joint disease leading to disability. The pediatric meniscus has particularities, and knowledge of normal anatomy, anatomical variations, and the patterns of meniscal injury in the pediatric age group is essential to provide a correct diagnosis. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Accurate MRI interpretation of pediatric meniscal injuries is crucial. Understanding age-specific anatomy, vascularity, and variations can improve diagnostic precision, guiding targeted treatments to prevent early joint degeneration and disability. KEY POINTS: Meniscal lesions are common injuries in skeletally immature knees. Awareness of anatomical meniscus variants, patterns of injury, and associated injuries is essential. Meniscal tears in pediatric patients should be repaired if possible.
由于儿童参与体育活动增多以及MRI的更广泛应用，报道的儿童年龄组半月板撕裂发病率有所上升。半月板损伤是骨骼未成熟膝关节中最常报道的内部紊乱之一，并且可能与导致残疾的早期退行性关节疾病相关。儿童半月板具有特殊性，了解儿童年龄组的正常解剖结构、解剖变异以及半月板损伤模式对于做出正确诊断至关重要。关键相关性声明：准确的MRI对儿童半月板损伤的解读至关重要。了解特定年龄的解剖结构、血管分布和变异可以提高诊断精度，指导针对性治疗以预防早期关节退变和残疾。要点：半月板损伤是骨骼未成熟膝关节的常见损伤。了解半月板解剖变异、损伤模式及相关损伤至关重要。小儿患者的半月板撕裂应尽可能进行修复。
