Figure

Figure 1: Sagittal T1-weighted MRI of the left knee shows no attachment of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus to the tibial plateau, but instead the meniscofemoral ligament (ligament of Wrisberg) joins the posterior horn of the meniscus to the lateral surface of the medial femoral condyle, i.e. discontinuity between the anterior and posterior horns, causing effectively the development of degenerative lesion of the posterior horn of the left medial meniscus (arrow).
