Quantitative measurement of the meniscus. (left) Geometric quantities for analysis of meniscal shape. LD maximum size of longitudinal diameter, AWT anterior wedge thickness, AWW anterior wedge width, PWW posterior wedge width, PWT posterior wedge thickness, AWA anterior wedge angle, PWA posterior wedge angle. (right) Illustration of the amount of meniscal extrusion. The end of the tibia and the meniscal edge are manually identified from an MR coronal slice (blue arrows), and the horizontal distance between them (red arrows) is defined as the amount of meniscal extrusion
