The Knee
Three articulations
The bones are connected together by the following ligaments:
The Articular Capsule
The Anterior Cruciate
The Ligamentum Patellæ
The Posterior Cruciate
The Oblique Popliteal
The Medial and Lateral Menisci
The Tibial Collateral
The Transverse
The Fibular Collateral
The Coronary.

The layer approach presented here emphasizes anatomical relationships which have been established
The layer concept is stressed because the ligaments of the medial side of the knee are condensations within tissue planes and not discrete structures such as the anterior cruciate ligament
Any description of a ligament should specify its location within a plane, otherwise its relationship to the other structures will be confusing
In order to locate all structures in their appropriate planes, it is helpful to think in terms of the three layers and the patterns by which they merge anteriorly and posteriorly

Patella Retinacula
The retinacula represent condensations in tissue planes rather than discrete structures
In the past, the description of these structures has been confusing in part because of their anatomic complexity and also because of variability in descriptive terminology.
Although descriptions of retinacular anatonly related to dissection can be found in the orthopedic literature
similar descriptions in the radiologic literature have been oversimplified and limited to brief anatomic statements

Knowledge of the expected anatomic
location of these four ligaments as well
as their relationships to one another is
crucial if one is to differentiate between
them on MRI and thereby predict with
accuracy which structures have been
injured.

Most commonly in the proximal fibers
All agree
Majority near or at the femoral attachment site to the adductor tubercle

Majority at the patellar attachment

MEDIAL RETINACULAR INJURY
BIOMECHANICAL TESTING
MPFL – major restraint of lateral patellar
dislocation
> 53% of total medial restraining force
MPML – significant medial stabilizer > 22% of total restraining force
MPTL – minimum contribution ~ 5% of total restraining force

MPFL INJURY
Use standard system for grading ligamentous injuries:
The MPFL fibers are graded as:
Normal (intact fibers with no adjacent edema)
Stretched (wavy continuous fibers with adjacent edema)
Disrupted (no intact fibers)

Results have often been unpredictable, with a reported rate of
satisfactory results between 20% and 92% of patients.
