Objective: In this study, we wanted to report the clinical and radiological findings of two female patients aged 4 and 6 years, and the results of physiotherapy and rehabilitation after the arthroscopic treatment we performed Methods: Partial meniscectomy was performed in both cases in the supine position under general anesthesia. She was hospitalized for 2 days after surgery. Patients were taken to physiotherapy program after surgery. While our six-year-old patient received 25 sessions of physiotherapy sessions, our 4-year-old patient received 30 sessions of physiotherapy. The physiotherapy program applied to both patients was applied for 12-15 minutes with cold application and 30 minutes of TENS. In order to gain normal joint space, passive stretching exercises at the margin of pain, isometric exercises to increase muscle strength, and then active exercises for lower extremity muscles were performed to increase muscle strength by the physiotherapist. Results: Discoid meniscus cases are rare in early ages. Our cases (4-6 years old) show that promising results are possible with arthroscopic treatment of the torn and dislocated lateral meniscus and the physiotherapy program applied for the symptoms after surgery
