title: Meniscofemoral ligament simulating tear of the lateral meniscus: MR features.
abstract: The meniscofemoral ligament can simulate pathology on magnetic resonance images. It can be mistaken for a free osteochondral fragment on sagittal images. A less common pitfall is the simulation of a tear of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. A case demonstrating this meniscal pseudotear is presented.
