Visualization of the caudal horns of the meniscus can be a challenge. Often the process of exposing the caudal horn can result in distortions. A normal meniscus can look damaged or a “bucket handle” tear can sit back and look normal. It is helpful to gently probe the meniscus to establish its true condition. Dimensions refer to length of tip. Use 1mm in dogs <30kg and for dogs>30kg use a 2mm.
