A tear of the mid portion of a stable discoid lateral meniscus should be treated with a partial menisectomy with saucerization. Lateral total menisectomy is contraindicated because of the poor long-term results following this procedure. Meniscal transplant and casting do not have a role in this scenario, although meniscal repairs may be needed for peripheral meniscal instability.
