  13. Vascularity • From the genicular vessels • Extent • Medial (10-30% of width) • Lateral (10-25% of width)

  15. Zones

  16. Relevance • If tear involves outer, vascular 1/3 (3-5 mm from capsule) • Surgical repair / or conservative • If tear involves inner,-non-vascular 1/3 • Partial / total meniscectomy

  17. Medial Meniscus • Size (AH < PH) • AH ( 7.6 mm) • Body ( 9.6 mm) • PH ( 10.6mm)

  18. Lateral meniscus • Size ( AH = PH) • AH (10.2 mm) • Body (11.6 mm) • PH (10.6 mm)

  19. Attachments • Menisci maintained in optimal position • Various direct and indirect attachments to the tibia and femur. • Peripheral attachments to capsule

  20. Medial Meniscus • Attachments • AH • Transverse ligament • Anterior root ligament • Body (capsular) • Meniscofemoral • Meniscotibial ( coronary) • Minor capsular attachments • PH • Posterior root ligament

  22. Lateral meniscus • Attachments • AH • Transverse meniscal ligament • Root ligament • Body • Capsular ligaments • Superior and inferior • To ITB • NOT attached to the LCL • PH • Meniscofemoral ligaments • Humphrey and Wrisberg • Popliteomeniscal ligaments • Meniscal struts • Root ligament

  23. Transverse meniscal ligament • The menisci are attached to each other anteriorly by the transverseligament • 44 - 58 % incidence

  24. Transverse ligament

  25. Transverse meniscal ligament

  26. Root attachments Cannabis sativa – Durban Poison • Critical attachment sites to the central tibial plateau. • Resist hoop stress • Well-defined relations to each other and to the cruciate ligament insertions • The Meniscal Roots: Gross Anatomic Correlation with 3-T MRI FindingsAm. J. Roentgenol., May 2007; 188: W446 - W450 Jeffrey M. Brody, Michael J. Hulstyn, Braden C. Fleming, and Glenn A. Tung.

  27. Anterior root ligament of MM

  28. Anterior root ligament of MM

  29. Posterior root ligament of MM

  30. Posterior root attachment MM

  31. Anterior root ligament of lateral meniscus

  32. Posterior root ligament of lateral meniscus

  33. Meniscofemoral ligaments • Ligaments of Humphrey and Wrisberg. • Superomedially • Posterior horn of thelateral meniscus to the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle. • Name based on their location • Either 70% • Both 6% • Minor role            

  34. Ligament of Wrisberg • Posterior • Larger • Inserts into the medial femoral condyle.

  35. Ligament of Humphrey • Anterior • Smaller • 1/3 of PCL diameter

  36. Popliteomeniscal ligaments • Superior and inferior struts • Anchor the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the capsule

  37. Popliteomeniscal ligaments p

  38. MM capsular attachments Meniscotibial/femoral ligaments • MM attached via the deep portion of the MCL and the • meniscofemoral (f) and • meniscotibial (t) ligaments

  39. MM Capsular attachments Meniscotibial/femoral ligaments

  40. Minor capsular attachments • Periphery of menisci usually attach to capsule via synovial attachments

  41. MM synovial attachments to capsule

  42. LM to ITB

  43. LM not attached to LCL

  44. Oblique menisco-meniscal ligament • Normal variant • runs obliquely from the anterior horn of one meniscus to the posterior horn of the opposite meniscus. • 1% to 4% • mimic a meniscal tear
