Description[edit | edit source]
The Coronary ligaments of the knee also known as 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.
