ABSTRACT
We report a case of injury of the medial bucket handle meniscal tears (BH), which resolved spontaneously, in association with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The patient twisted his left knee during a fight in martial arts, progressing to pain and joint locking and a sense of distortion. In NMR it could be seen bucket-handle tear of the medial meniscus with displacement of the fragment to the intercondylar region, rupture of the lateral meniscus and ACL tear. After conservative treatment and physiotherapy, in an interval of one year, later examinations showed that there was spontaneous healing of AB.
RESUMO
Neste trabalho é relatado um caso de lesão do menisco medial do tipo em alça de balde (AB), que se resolveu espontaneamente, em associação com lesão de ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA). O paciente torceu o joelho esquerdo durante uma luta em artes maciais, evoluindo com dor e bloqueio articular e sensação de falseamento. Na RMN havia rotura em alça de balde do menisco medial com deslocamento do fragmento para a região intercondilar, rotura do menisco lateral e rotura do LCA. Após tratamento clínico e fisioterápico, em um intervalo de um ano, o exame de controle demonstrou que havia ocorrido resolução espontânea da AB.
