Abstract
The anterior intermeniscal ligament represents the most anterior part of the "meniscal belt" and potentially contributes to shock-absorbing function of the menisci and to the transmission of circumferential hoop stresses in the knee. Sectioning of the anterior intermeniscal ligament produces mechanical changes similar to those observed with meniscal extrusion, with an increase and central shift in tibiofemoral contact force.
