posterior meniscofemoral ligament posterior meniscofemoral ligament the posterior meniscofemoral ligament (also known as the ligament of wrisberg) is a small fibrous band of the knee joint. it attaches to the posterior area of the lateral meniscus and crosses superiorly and medially behind the posterior cruciate ligament to attach to the medial condyle of the femur. posterior meniscofemoral ligamentdetailsfromlateral meniscustofemuridentifierslatinligamentum meniscofemorale posteriusta98a03.6.08.004ta21887fma76855anatomical terminology it forms with articulatio meniscolateralis anterior articulatio mesicofemoralis which is the upper floor of articulatio genus. it flexes and extends functionally as ginglymus with frontal axis. the posterior meniscofemoral ligament is found in 64.4% of the subjects in mri scan of the knee. posterior meniscofemoral ligament on mri, coronal posterior meniscofemoral ligament on mri, sagittal posterior meniscofemoral ligament (wrisberg) behind the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus close to its insertion. sometimes wrongly interpreted as a meniscal tear. joints and ligaments of the human leghip femoral (iliofemoral pubofemoral ischiofemoral) head of femur transverse acetabular acetabular labrum capsule zona orbicularis kneetibiofemoral capsule anterior meniscofemoral ligament posterior meniscofemoral ligament extracapsular: popliteal oblique arcuate collateral medial/tibial fibular/lateral intracapsular: cruciate anterior posterior menisci medial lateral transverse anterolateral patellofemoral patellar tendon infrapatellar fat pad tibiofibularsuperior tibiofibular anterior of the head of the fibula posterior of the head of the fibula inferior tibiofibular anterior tibiofibular posterior tibiofibular interosseous membrane of leg foottalocrural and ankle medial: medial of talocrural joint/deltoid anterior tibiotalar posterior tibiotalar tibiocalcaneal tibionavicular lateral: lateral collateral of ankle joint anterior talofibular posterior talofibular calcaneofibular subtalar/talocalcaneal anterior/posterior lateral/medial interosseous transverse tarsaltalocalcaneonavicular dorsal talonavicular plantar calcaneonavicular/spring bifurcated (calcaneonavicular) calcaneocuboid dorsal calcaneocuboid long plantar plantar calcaneocuboid bifurcated (calcaneocuboid) distal intertarsalcuneonavicular plantar dorsal cuboideonavicular plantar dorsal intercuneiform plantar dorsal interosseous intercuneiform interosseous cuneometatarsal othertarsometatarsal/lisfranc plantar dorsal intermetatarsal/metatarsal plantar dorsal interosseous superficial transverse deep transverse metatarsophalangeal plantar collateral interphalangeal plantar collateral arches longitudinal transverse authority control terminologia anatomica
