Diagnosis:Bucket-handle tear of the menisci Discussion:The displaced fragment of a bucket handle tear of the meniscus can move medially to lie within the intercondylar notch. The fragment-in-notch sign is defined as a band like area of low signal intensity within the intercondylar notch, not appearing on the same slice as the PCL. The sign, when identified, can be valuable in picking up a bucket handle tear of the meniscus. References:
