Ligaments at the back of the knee
The meniscofemoral ligament begins at the back of the lateral meniscus, where it splits into two. One part passes in front of the posterior cruciate ligament and the other passes behind it.
Researchers have "...demonstrated an interplay between them and the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus during knee flexion and extension"...but their presence is variable and their role uncertain. The main issue is that they can be confused on MRI scan with a meniscal tear.
