What this trial studies

The EPOS Discoid Meniscus (DiMe) Project aims to analyze the characteristics of discoid meniscus tears in the pediatric population across Europe. This multicentric international observational study will collect data on symptomatic discoid meniscus, including patient demographics, treatment options, and clinical outcomes over a 15-year follow-up period. The study will involve three phases: initial registration and data collection, surgical treatment documentation, and long-term outcome assessment. The goal is to improve understanding of the best treatment options for children with symptomatic discoid meniscus.
