Abstract
Bucket-handle meniscal tears are meniscus lesions with an attached tear fragment displaced. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered as one of the best imaging techniques in diagnosing bucket-handle tears, with high degrees of both sensitivity and specificity. We report a case of a bucket-handle tear presenting as a double longitudinal tear of the medial meniscus and we describe the other possible signs in MRI to help traumatologists better understand the lesion to be better treated.
