Five anatomical zones of the medial meniscus are distin-guishable in regard to the meniscus anatomy: the anterior root (zone 1); the anteromedial zone (zone 2a and 2b); the medial zone (zone 3); the posterior zone (zone 4); and the posterior root (zone 5) (Fig. 2).
medial meniscus, the lateral meniscus is attached to the tibia by anterior and posterior root ligaments, though these are closer to-gether than on the medial side. The anterior root ligament of the lateral meniscus blends with fibers of the anterior cruciate liga-ment (ACL) as it attaches to the tibia. The posterior root ligament
posterior medial meniscus. If present, either 1 or both of the meniscofemoral ligaments additionally attaches to the lateral meniscus. These ligaments include the ligament of Humphrey and the liga-ment of Wrisberg (see Fig. 1), both of which arise from the lateral aspect of the medial
1 sie 2014 · Anatomical photographs of tibial plateau demonstrating the relative size and attachments of the medial and lateral menisci. (A) Superior view. (B) Posterior view.
3 lip 2016 · Medial and lateral menisci which are located between femoral and tibial articular surfaces resemble a wedge in coronal plane. The two menisci are not completely identical. The medial meniscus has a crescent shape, anterior of which is wider when compared with its posterior part.
12 mar 2024 · The Medial Meniscus is located on the inside (medial side) of your knee. It’s firmly attached to the joint capsule and is less mobile, making it more prone to injury due to its limited ability to move when the knee twists or turns. The Lateral Meniscus sits on the outside (lateral side) of the knee. It’s more circular and not as tightly ...
The medial meniscus maintains more attachments at both the horns and the midbody than the lateral meniscus, making it more susceptible to injury. Understanding of the gross anatomy, vascular anatomy, biochemical composition, and microstructure is key to understanding causes of meniscal pathology as well as treatment options for restoring its ...
