Practical MRI Anatomy of the Knee Menisci: Horns, Body, and Attachments

A knee MRI anatomy tutorial breaks down the medial and lateral menisci, covering the anterior horn, body, posterior horn, and key attachments, with emphasis on practical identification of normal structures and differences between menisci.

• Identify the anterior horn, body, and posterior horn of both medial and lateral menisci on MRI.
• Recognize the meniscal attachments and their relationship to surrounding structures.
• Differentiate the medial meniscus (larger, more C-shaped, firm capsular attachment) from the lateral meniscus (smaller, more O-shaped, loose posterolateral attachment).
