Posterior meniscofemoral ligament (Wrisberg) behind the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus close to its insertion. Sometimes wrongly interpreted as a meniscal tear.

The Posterior meniscofemoral ligament is a small fibrous band of the knee joint. It attaches to the posterior area of the lateral meniscus and crosses superiorly and medially behind the posterior cruciate ligament to attach to the medial condyle of the femur.
