A note

The 2010 edition of the First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, states that the component of the terrible triad injury are: the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and lateral meniscus. ^[1] Eckroo (talk) 17:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)Eckroo[reply]

Sure enough FA has an errata, changing it back YET AGAIN to medial (not lateral) meniscus. This and the ulnar claw hand part have been recurring errors that have never been actually corrected. http://firstaidteam.com/wp-content/uploads/FA-Step-1-2012-errata-20120315.pdf Jimhsu77479 (talk) 20:06, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article again. (sign, studying for anatomy for the 2nd time). I thought I made it clear in the article about the discrepancy, but feel free to add more stuff if you think it's not clear. Jimhsu77479 (talk) 22:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion in Structures in triad

I found the part of this article confusing. I'm not an orthopedic surgeon or anything, but from what I can gather from Shelbourne et al [1], even though the "classic" O'Donoghue triad does not occur in the majority of cases (rather, the Lateral meniscus is torn), the triad is still CHARACTERIZED by medial meniscus injury. In other words, surgeons do not call an injury of ACL, MCL, and lateral meniscus the "unhappy triad" despite it being more "common" (surgeons feel free to correct this point and revert). The article also has better "flow" by making a change, from "historical content useful for med students" to "more modern content useful for surgeons". I made a revision to the article to clarify this point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimhsu77479 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
