  		Fig. 1. —21-year-old man with lateral meniscal tear and anterior cruciate ligament tear. Sagittal fast spin-echo T2-weighted MR image with fat saturation shows disruption at superior fascicle (straight arrow) and posterior pericapsular edema (curved arrow). Bone bruises are present in femoral condyle and beneath tibial plateau.

  		Fig. 3A. —32-year-old man with lateral meniscal tear. Sagittal proton density—weighted MR image shows disruption at superior fascicle (curved arrow). Note subtle intrameniscal signal contacting inferior surface of posterior horn of lateral meniscus (straight arrow). This was only image showing signal contacting surface. Superior fascicle is disrupted.
