MSK MRI

The posterior meniscotibial ligament attachment to the PHMM had a mean length of 14.0 ± 5.4 mm at its insertion on the posterior tibia. The posterior meniscocapsular attachment to the PHMM had a mean length of 20.2 ± 6.0 mm. The dMCL had a broad, firm attachment to the midbody of the medial meniscus. The dMCL meniscofemoral attachment blended with the POL meniscofemoral attachment posteriorly an..

The meniscotibial ligament attachment merged with the posterior meniscocapsular attachment to form a common attachment at the meniscocapsular junction. The posterior meniscotibial ligament attachment to the PHMM had a mean length of 14.0 ± 5.4 mm at its insertion on the posterior tibia. The meniscotibial tibial ligament attachment was located 5.9 ± 1.3 mm inferior to the articular cartilage marg..

anatomy of posteromedial capsular‐meniscal unit The meniscocapsular junction of posterior horn of medial meniscus is composed of the meniscocapsular ligament superiorly (also known as meniscosynovial or synovial membrane ligaments) and the meniscotibial ligament inferiorly, both of which attach peripherally into the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. The meniscocapsular and meniscotibial lig..

Medial meniscus is firmly attached to the tibia and femur, acting as a knee stabilizer, and preventing anterior translation, especially in the ACL-deficiency. Ramp lesions, whose name reflects the ramp-like appearance of the posteromedial zone, are a particular type of injury within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and its meniscocapsular attachments. To date, there is no consensus rega..

The sagittal images progress from lateral to medial and demonstrate the ligament of Wrisberg, passing posterior to the PCL and continuing into the superior margin of the peripheral meniscal tear segment created by the longitudinal tear of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. The torn ACL is seen on the sagittal views Note the contusion bone marrow edema at the posterior lateral tibial pla..

The meniscofemoral ligaments may mimic a peripheral vertical longitudinal tear Due to variability in the ligament attachment site, this cleft can extend variably far, and as a result the discrimination between a true tear and a 'pseudo-tear' may pose a challenge. Wrisberg rips, also known as zip tears or zipper tears, are longitudinal vertical meniscal tears. when the average attachment site lie..

The pseudotear caused by the high signal band located between the MFLs and the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Wrisberg rip is the longitudinal tear of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Differentiation of this tear from the normal pseudo-tear is made by lateral extension of the cleft between the meniscus and meniscofemoral ligament by 1.4 cm or more lateral to the lateral margi..

Wrisberg rip, also known as zip tear or zipper tear is the longitudinal tear of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Wrisberg rip occurs at the junction of the meniscofemoral ligament and the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Axial oblique reformatted image demonstrates the course of the ligament of Humphrey anterior to the PCL (blue arrows) as it joins to the meniscal fragment peri..

Posterior oblique drawing demonstrates PCL, LM, meniscofemoral ligaments (Humphry ligament and Wrisberg ligament) The meniscofemoral ligaments originate from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus and insert onto the lateral aspect of the posterior medial femoral condyle, with the Humphry ligament anterior to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and the Wrisberg ligament posteriorly Wrisber..

There is a close association between ACL tears and peripheral longitudinal tears in the posterior horns of both the medial and lateral menisci. Acute ACL injury is associated with more lateral meniscal tears, while chronic ACL deficiency is associated with more medial meniscal tears,many of which require meniscectomy. So early ACL reconstruction is recommended also for the prevention of secondar..
