Anterior and Posterior Meniscofemoral Ligaments: MRI Evaluation
Although meniscofemoral ligaments are distinct anatomic units, their anatomy and function are controversial from an anatomic and radiologic point of view. Five hundred knee MR examinations were retrospectively studied in an effort to demonstrate the incidence and variations regarding sex and age distribution, as well as the anatomy of the meniscofemoral ligament at magnetic resonance imaging. P...
متن کاملMorphology of the tibial insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament.
BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated that double-bundle reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament restores knee kinematics better than does single-bundle reconstruction. The objective of this study was to identify the tibial insertion site of the posterior cruciate ligament and the related osseous landmarks to help guide surgeons in the performance of an anatomical double-bundle reconstr...
متن کاملOpen Reduction and Internal Fixation of Isolated Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fractures: Clinical and Functional Outcome
Purpose The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) presents commonly with avulsion fractures of its tibial attachment. An avulsion fracture of the PCL, if not surgically fixed, may lead to secondary changes in the knee joint. Various fixation techniques have been explored with use of lag screws, steel wires, absorbable screws, suture anchors and straddle nails. The purpose of this study was to evalu...
متن کاملDouble Posterior Cruciate Ligament Sign on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Imaging Variants, Mimics, and Clinical Implications
Introduction Double posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) sign is a sign on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is suggestive of a bucket- handle tear (BHT) of the meniscus. We undertook this study to assess the presence of a double PCL sign and its correlation with arthroscopic findings. We also discussed the various mimics and variants of the double PCL sign. Case Report All the patients wit...
متن کاملPosterior Cruciate Ligament: Current Concepts Review
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the largest and strongest ligament in the human knee, and the primary posteriorstabilizer. Recent anatomy and biomechanical studies have provided an improved understanding of PCL function. PCLinjuries are typically combined with other ligamentous, meniscal and chondral injuries. Stress radiography has becomean important and validated objective measure in...
