AB  - INTRODUCTION: Locking of the knee attributed to non-discoid lateral meniscus in 
      an atraumatic setting is a rare phenomenon. One such cause is permanent 
      subluxation of lateral meniscus (PSLM). In the entire literature, there is only 
      one documented case of a 37-year-old female. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 
      10-year-old boy who suffered two episodes of knee locking reported radiologically 
      as a bucket handle tear of the lateral meniscus. No tear was found during 
      arthroscopy. The lateral meniscus was malformed with meniscocapsular 
      discontinuity and irreducibly subluxated into the intercondylar space. No salvage 
      procedure was possible. We ended up performing a subtotal meniscectomy. 
      CONCLUSION: This is the first case of PSLM reported in the pediatric age group 
      and second overall. Management options are limited. Further genetic and fetal 
      studies are needed in this area to determine the exact causality.
