Abstract

Anomalies of the medial meniscus are rare and difficult to diagnose clinically. Among these anomalies, anomalous insertion of the medial meniscus into the anterior cruciate ligament is rare. Most of the reported cases had no relation to clinical symptoms and were found incidentally during arthroscopy. We report a rare case of anomalous insertion of the medial meniscus into the anterior cruciate ligament with a brief review of the literature.
