Description[edit | edit source]
The Coronary ligaments of the knee or meniscotibial ligaments are part of the fibrous capsule of the knee joint. There are two (2) coronary ligaments namely medial coronary ligament and lateral coronary ligament. They connect the inferior edges of the meniscus to the periphery of the tibial plateaus. The meniscotibial ligament solidly anchors the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.
Attachments[edit | edit source]
The lateral meniscotibial ligament attaches to the lateral face of the lateral meniscus and descended oblique dorsally to reach the superolateral margin of the lateral tibial condyle.
Function[edit | edit source]
The coronary ligaments function to stabilise the menisci and limit rotation of the knee.
Clinical relevance[edit | edit source]
Coronary ligament injuries may occur either as a rupture in its mid-substance or as an avulsion. In a study by Peltier et al[1] they concluded that lesions of the meniscotibial ligament may increase rotatory instability of the knee.
Assessment[edit | edit source]
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Resources[edit | edit source]
The role of the meniscotibial ligament in posteromedial rotational knee stability.
