Background There is a lack of evidence of the diagnosis and treatment-related epidemiological studies of symptomatic discoid meniscus. This study analyzed the national epidemiological data for discoid meniscus in South Korea. Methods From 2011 to 2019, data related to the diagnosis and procedure codes of discoid meniscus was obtained from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. All patients encoded as discoid meniscus were included. Data were extracted and further analyzed as follows: (1) the total number and the incidence (cases per 100,000) of discoid meniscus diagnosis per year, (2) sex distribution, (3) age distribution, (4) discoid meniscus ratio (total discoid meniscus coding per total meniscus injury coding), and (5) surgical procedures after discoid meniscus injury. Results The total number of discoid meniscus diagnosed was 4,576 in 2011 and increased to 6,639 in 2019, representing a 45.1% increase. The incidence was 9.5 in 2011 and increased to 13.0 in 2019. Concerning sex, discoid meniscus was more common in females (55%) than in males (45%) over the study period. Regarding age, the peak age of discoid meniscus in 2011 was “under 19”, whereas in 2019, the peak age was observed in the 50s. The discoid meniscus ratio ranged 2.12–2.60% from 2011 to 2019. The total number of meniscectomy increased by 20% from 2,000 in 2011 to 2,475 in 2014. However, the total number of meniscus repairs was 318 in 2011 and increased to 502 in 2019, indicating an increase of 58%. Conclusions The total number and incidence of symptomatic discoid as well as the discoid meniscus ratio and the incidence of total discoid meniscus repair steadily increased from 2011 to 2019. The number of meniscus repair procedures increased more rapidly than that of meniscectomy. The current study helps understand the epidemiology of symptomatic discoid meniscus, its prevention, and cost-saving measures in South Korea.
