1.  Medial and lateral meniscal tears with flaps and flipped fragments are quite common and should be recognized by the radiologist. 2.  Meniscal flaps and flipped fragments are usually found in one or more of several common locations.  These locations should be part of the radiologist's search pattern when a meniscal tear is recognized. 3.  There are several anatomic structures adjacent to the medial and lateral menisci that can be mistaken for displaced meniscal tissue. 4.  There are important clinical implications to identifying meniscal flap tears.
