Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Anatomical studies

Context:

  • Meniscus replacement requires precise graft fixation for successful outcomes.
  • Cadaveric studies are essential for understanding knee joint anatomy.

Purpose:

  • To identify anatomical insertion sites and peripheral lengths of the meniscus in the femur and tibia.
  • To determine the prevalence of Wrisberg's and Humphry's ligaments.

Summary:

  • Ninety-two human knees were analyzed to map tibial meniscus insertions using bony landmarks.
  • Peripheral meniscus lengths were measured (medial: 111 mm, lateral: 110 mm).
  • Wrisberg's ligament was found in 76% and Humphry's ligament in 50% of specimens.

Impact:

  • Provides critical anatomical data for improving meniscus allograft fixation techniques.
