  2. Meniscus tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscus_tear

    A meniscal repair has a higher success rate given an adequate blood supply to the peripheral rim. [36] [failed verification] The interior of the meniscus is avascular, but the blood supply can penetrate up to about 6 millimetres (0.24 in). Therefore, meniscus tears that occur near the peripheral rim are able to heal after a meniscal repair. [1]

    Between these, the synovial membrane passes in front of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, why these ligaments are both intracapsular and extra-articular with their tibial attachment located exactly on the cartilage margin. Both the lateral and medial meniscus are, however, located within the synovial capsule. [2]

  4. Bucket handle tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_handle_tear

    Meniscal repair: Preferred for young patients or those with tears in the vascular (red-red) zone, which has healing potential. Arthroscopic sutures are used to repair the torn meniscus. Partial meniscectomy : [ 7 ] If the tear is in a non-repairable location (white-white zone) or the meniscal tissue is extensively damaged, the displaced ...

  5. Transverse ligament of knee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_ligament_of_knee

    The transverse ligament is reported in 58 per cent of subjects and is thus the most prevalent of four described meniscomeniscal ligaments. The other ligaments, all three of which are reported with a frequency of less than 4 per cent, are the posterior transverse ligament, described as a bundle of fibers connecting the posterior horns of the menisci; and the medial and lateral oblique ligaments ...

  6. Anterior meniscofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_meniscofemoral...

    The anterior meniscofemoral ligament (ligament of Humphry) is a small fibrous band of the knee joint. [1] It arises from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus and passes superiorly and medially in front of the posterior cruciate ligament to attach to the lateral surface of medial condyle of the femur .

  7. Anterolateral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterolateral_ligament

    The anterolateral ligament (ALL) is a ligament on the lateral aspect of the human knee, anterior to the fibular collateral ligament. [1]Perhaps the earliest account of the ALL was written by French surgeon Paul Segond in 1879, in which he described a ligamentous structure between the lateral femur and tibia.

  8. Medial meniscus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_meniscus

    Acute injury to the medial meniscus frequently accompanies an injury to the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) or MCL (medial collateral ligament). A person occasionally injures the medial meniscus without harming the ligaments. Healing of the medial meniscus is generally not possible unless the patient is very young, usually <15 years old.

  9. Unhappy triad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unhappy_triad

    The unhappy triad, also known as a blown knee among other names, is an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and meniscus.Analysis during the 1990s indicated that this 'classic' O'Donoghue triad is actually an unusual clinical entity among athletes with knee injuries.
