Medial Meniscal Ramp Lesions: An Arthroscopic Classification.

ABSTRACT: Medial meniscus ramp lesions are commonly associated with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. These lesions were defined previously as longitudinal tears around the meniscocapsular junction at the level of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. However, the recent interpretation of the ramp lesions, their causation, anatomical studies, and histologic studies has uncovered a different dimension to these lesions. With recent knowledge of anatomy and soft-tissue attachments around the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, the attachments of the articular capsule, posteromedial capsule, meniscocapsular ligament, meniscotibial ligament, and semimembranosus, there is a need to understand these injuries differently. Because the anatomical structures injured during the ramp lesion will decid
