Anomalous insertion of the medial meniscus into a triple bundle anterior cruciate ligament: A rare combination of two anatomical variants

Rare anatomical variants in the human knee joint include the anomalous insertion of the medial meniscus (AIMM) into the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or the presence of a triple bundle ACL. The functional implications of those anomalies have not yet been fully elucidated and might be important in...

description Rare anatomical variants in the human knee joint include the anomalous insertion of the medial meniscus (AIMM) into the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or the presence of a triple bundle ACL. The functional implications of those anomalies have not yet been fully elucidated and might be important in reconstructive surgery of the damaged knee. We report the case of a 35-year-old female patient with an AIMM into a triple bundle ACL associated with tears of the medial meniscus in both of her knees. Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy was performed on one side, and conservative treatment with physiotherapy was chosen for the other side with good clinical outcomes.
