What are the coronary ligaments of the knee?
The Coronary ligaments of the knee or meniscotibial ligaments are part of the fibrous capsule of the knee joint. There are two coronary ligaments namely medial coronary ligament and lateral coronary ligament. They connect the inferior edges of the meniscus to the periphery of the tibial plateaus.
Where does the coronary ligament attach?
liver
Coronary ligament (anterior and posterior folds) – attaches the superior surface of the liver to the inferior surface of the diaphragm and demarcates the bare area of the liver The anterior and posterior folds unite to form the triangular ligaments on the right and left lobes of the liver.
Where is the Intermeniscal ligament located?
the knee
The transverse ligament of the knee, also called the transverse intermeniscal ligament attaches transversely across the anterior aspects of the convex margins of the medial and lateral menisci.
What ligament connects to meniscus?
The anterior and posterior horns of both menisci are secured to the tibial plateaus. Anteriorly, the transverse ligament connects the 2 menisci; posteriorly, the meniscofemoral ligament helps stabilize the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the femoral condyle.
What is a coronary ligament?
The coronary ligament is a peritoneal ligament complex of the liver which encloses the bare area of the liver.
What are the 5 ligaments?
There are five main ligamentous structures seen throughout the spinal column:
- Anterior Longitudinal Ligament (ALL)
- Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (PLL)
- Ligamentum Flavum.
- Interspinous ligaments.
- Supraspinous ligament[1]
Where is the transverse ligament of knee located?
The transverse or [anterior] meniscomeniscal ligament is a ligament in the knee joint that connects the anterior convex margin of the lateral meniscus to the anterior end of the medial meniscus. It is divided into several strips in ten percent of subjects and its thickness varies considerably in different subjects.
What is coronary ligament?
Is the knee meniscus a ligament?
Menisci rests between the thigh bone femur and the tibia and there are two knee joint ligaments. They are a type of cartilage in the joint. The rubbery texture of the menisci is due to their fibrocartilagenous structure. Their shape is maintained by the collagens within them.
How is coronary ligament formed?
The coronary ligament is formed by the reflection of the peritoneum from the undersurface of the diaphragm onto the superior and posterior surfaces to the right lobe of the liver, It is made up of a superior and inferior layer.
