Summary[edit | edit source]

Posteromedial view illustration of the anatomic attachments to the posterolateral meniscus. The inferior extensions of the posterior capsule were removed and the popliteal tendon was reflected to visualize the underlying structural attachments of the meniscotibial ligament and the popliteomeniscal fascicles. ACM, tibial articular cartilage mar- gin; aMFL, anterior meniscofemoral ligament; ASF, antero- superior popliteomeniscal fascicle; FCL, fibular collateral ligament; PCL, posterior cruciate ligament; PIF, posteroinferior popliteomeniscal fascicle; pMFL, posterior meniscofemoral ligament; PSF, posterosuperior popliteomeniscal fascicle.[1]
