The supporting structures and layers on the medial side of the knee: an anatomical analysis
LF Warren and JL Marshall
The goal of this study was to delineate the consistent anatomical
structures in the medial side of the knee and to determine their
relationship to one another.One hundred and fifty-four fresh human knee
joints were dissected. A three-layered pattern was found in which ligaments
could be consistently placed. We have made suggestions regarding the
nomenclature of these structures. The limits of of the so-called capsule
and its significance as a stabilizer of the knee joint were examined. Only
minor variations in the over-all anatomical pattern were found.
