ABSTRACT

Meniscocapsular ligaments are meniscal fixation structures; their lesions contribute to meniscal hypermobility and its possible detachment. Its gold standard method of study is magnetic resonance imaging. Meniscal detachment can be mistaken for a bucket-handle tear, and therefore, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
