Abstract: Meniscus surgery is common, and surgical indications and techniques continue to evolve. After highlighting relevant anatomy and emerging magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques, this article reviews the current indications and techniques used for meniscus surgery, evaluates the use of MR imaging protocols with and without arthrography, and focuses on MR imaging interpretation of the postoperative meniscus, with particular attention to clinical outcomes and diagnostic criteria.<br /> (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
