Posterior Lateral Meniscal Horn Attachment (Posterior)

insertio posterior cornus lateralis menisci posterior

The posterior-most attachment of the lateral meniscal posterior horn anchors it posterior to the PCL insertion, a critical anatomical point for posterior root tear classification.

Region: Knee
