The meniscal flounce is thought to be a transient physiologic distortion and may be related to meniscal locations on the tibial plateau. It may be changed by varying the knee position.

Hi,
I totally agree with the post about meniscal flounce.
However, a point of caution. I have heard physicians say that meniscal flounce rules out meniscal tear. This is not true. Flounce is rarely seen, but can be present in torn and intact/normal menisci.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brian Sabb
