    AbstractMeniscal injuries lead to changes in pressure distribution in the knee joint. The risk of developing gonarthrosis increases by the amount of resected meniscal tissue. Based on 4 MRI examinations conducted over an 8‑year time period, the present case report shows the progress of cartilage degeneration after a traumatic medial meniscus lesion and subsequent partial meniscus resection in a 46-year-old male patient. Congenital or accident-independent risk factors, such as a varus limb deformity must be considered during a medical report.© 2022. The Author(s).
