Menisco-femoral ligament

The meniscofemoral ligament is a fibrous structure running from the posterior horn (the part at the back) of the lateral meniscus to the medial femoral condyle.

There are in fact generally two meniscofemoral ligaments in each knee - the anterior meniscofemoral ligament (or ligament of Humphrey) which goes traverses in front of the posterior cruciate ligament, and the posterior meniscofemoral ligament (ligament of Wrisberg), which traverses behind it.
