1 MENISCAL ANATOMY ADVANCED IMAGING OF THE KNEE MENISCAL ABNORMALITIES MENISCAL FUNCTION MENISCAL FUNCTION load transmission shock absorption stability The menisci DO NOT function as primary stabilizers of the knee. Rather, when certain primary restraints are compromised, the menisci are forced to take over part of this function. RAMP LESION load transmission shock absorption stability Known association of PH MM tears / chronic ACL tears Chronic Tear of ACL Posterior horn of medial meniscus resists anterior translation of the tibia MENISCAL BLOOD SUPPLY Source: - branches of genicular vessels from perimeniscal capillary plexus (PCP) - synovial reflection adherent to meniscal surface Extent: - : 10-30% of width - lateral meniscus: 10-25% of width Concept of RED and WHITE zone WHITE ZONE RED ZONE G Bydder

4 MENISCAL MORPHOLOGY MENISCAL MORPHOLOGY Circumferential (longitudinal) fibers Radial (tie) fibers Types of force: Compression Shear Tension Distraction Compression Longitudinal Vertical Tear Compression Longitudinal Vertical Tear The longer the vertical tear, the greater the number of radial (tie) fibers that are violated and the more likely that central displacement of the inner portion of the meniscus will occur Compression Meniscal Contusion?

5 Shear Longitudinal Horizontal Tear Shear Longitudinal Horizontal Tear The longer the horizontal tear, the greater the number of radial (tie) fibers that are violated and the more likely that a vertical component to the tear and a multidirectional tear will result Shear Shear Central Cavitation Longitudinal Horizontal Tear Radial Tear Shear Distraction Meniscofemoral lig Tibial collateral lig Joint capsule Meniscotibial lig Radial Tear Meniscocapsular Separation, Corner Meniscal Tear, MCL Injury

8 ACL tear and longitudinal vertical tear, lateral meniscus Longitudinal vertical tears often tilt slightly. In these cases, they may simulate horizontal tears in some images. Longitudinal vertical tears often have small horizontal components : oblique
