[The posterior menisco-femoral ligaments and their significance in organogenesis].

In the knee joint, there are two sorts of posterior menisco-femoral ligaments, one of them, on the lateral side binds the posterior edge of the meniscus with the femur, the other on the medial side attaches a part of the meniscal horn to the posterior cruciate ligament or to the femur. The differentiation of these ligamentous bundles seems to be bound with the organogenetic varieties of the posterior cruciate ligament.
