Abstract

We report a case of a 49-year-old patient presenting an anteromedial meniscofemoral ligament (AMMFL) on both knees with a tear of this ligament in the left knee associated to a normal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The AMMFL is a relatively rare anatomic structure that may correspond to a variant of the ACL type anterior root insertion of the medial meniscus. The findings reported in the literature were in most part results of incidental situations. AMMFL can be visualized through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and arthroscopy.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)
