Meniscotibial Ligaments
(Redirected from Coronary ligaments)
Description
Name
- Meniscotibial Ligaments
- Coronary ligaments of the knee
- Lateral Meniscotibial Ligament
- Ligamentum meniscotibiale laterale
- Medial Meniscotibial Ligament
- Ligamentum meniscotibiale mediale
General
- Portions of the knee joint capsule which connect the menisci top the periphery of the tibial plateaus
- Attachments to the medial tibial condyle at:
- Posterior horn attached via the posterior meniscotibial ligament
- Midportion/corpus via the meniscotibial portion of the deep medial collateral ligament
- Originate immediately inferior to the edge of the articular cartilage of the tibial plateau
- Additional posteromedial attachments
- Central meniscal attachment to the posterior oblique ligament
- Anterior arm of the semimembranosus tendon
- Attachments to the lateral tibial condyle
- Posterior via the posterior meniscotibial ligament
- Midportion via the lateral meniscotibial ligament, immediately deep to lateral collateral ligament
- Additional attachments
- Popliteus muscle posterolaterally via popliteomeniscal fasicles
- Joint Capsule at the superior border
- Fibula by the meniscofibular ligament
Function
- Connects part of the outside, inferior edge of the medial and lateral meniscus to the joint capsule
- Role in rotatory knee stability and anterior tibial translation[4]
MRI Features
- Visible on MRI as hypointense structures
Clinical Significance
- Ramp lesion (meniscus)
- Posteromedial corner injury of the knee
- Posterolateral corner injury of the knee
- Floating meniscus
