Crescent-shaped pads of fibrocartilage that produce a better fit between the tibia & the
femur.
Menisci
A semicircular pad that covers part of the superior articular surface of the medial
condyle of the tibia.
Medial meniscus
The medial attachment of the medial meniscus.
Med. Gen. Col. Lig.
The part of the medial meniscus that attaches to the anteromedial aspect of the anterior intercondylar fossa of the tibia.
Anterior Horn
The anterior horn of the medial meniscus attaches (anterior/posterior) to the anterior
cruciate ligament.
Anterior
The anterior horn of the medial meniscus attaches (anterior/posterior) to the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus.
Anterior
The part of the medial meniscus that attaches to the medial aspect of the posterior
intercondylar fossa of the tibia.
Posterior Horn
The posterior horn of the medial meniscus attaches (anterior/posterior) to the posterior cruciate ligament.
Anterior
The posterior horn of the medial meniscus attaches (anterior/posterior) to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus.
Posterior
An almost circular-shaped pad that covers the majority of the superior articular surface of
the lateral condyle f the tibia.
Lateral Meniscus
The lateral attachment of the lateral meniscus.
Popliteus Muscle
The part of the lateral meniscus that attaches to the posterolateral aspect of the anterior intercondylar fossa.
Anterior Horn
The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus attaches (anterior/posterior) to the intercondylar
eminence.
Anterior
The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus attaches (anterior/posterior) to the attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Anterior
Adipose tissue which separates the synovium from the patellar ligament.
Infrapat. Fat Pad
Two fringe-like structures that meet in the center, at the infrapatellar fold. They are
formed by the synovium as it lines the infrapatellar fat pad & passes from the patella to
the menisci & tibia.
Alar folds
A “structure” that extends from the apex of the patella to the inferior margin of the
intercondylar fossa of the femur. It is where the alar folds meet.
Infrapatellar Fold
Where the synovial membrane invaginates slightly from the anterior edge to line the
posterior aspect of the infrapatellar fat pad.
Ant. Intercon. Sulcus
Where the synovial membrane invaginates to line the anterior, medial & lateral aspects of
both cruciate ligaments, so the posterior aspect of the capsule is not lined by synovium.
Post. Intercon. Sulcus
The part of the synovial membrane that passes to the intercondylar notch of the femur
from the margins of the sulcus or to the inferior meniscal edge from the articular margins.
Post. Intercon. Sulcus
