[Anatomy_15] Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root - 03

 

PRLM has two attachment sites of the intertubercular region and the posterior slope of the lateral tubercle.

 

Contiguous fat-suppressed PD coronal images with a posteroanterior direction demonstrate small, dark signal foci (white arrows) traversing the intertubercular crest and terminating on the medial tubercle, near the tibial attachment of the ACL.

These green-yellow arrows show an intercondylar crest insertion component among the two attachment sites.

also, we can see it on coronal and sagittal images.

 

The minor component was attached to the posterior slope of the lateral tibial tubercle, anterior to the tibial attachment site of the PCL on 1st coronal image.

It appears as shorter striated fibers similar to other roots of menisci.

It's not a real patient's MRI, but they are virtual images very similar to the images in the journals. The images will be created for educational purposes.
