Frequency of the transverse ligament of the knee. Anatomical study with correlation by magnetic resonance imaging

Introduction: The menisci are two fibrocartilages intended to improve coaptation between the articular surfaces of the femorotibial knee joint. In an inconsistent manner, these are united, at the level of their anterior horns, by the transverse ligament. In magnetic resonance imaging, the insertion...

Gutiérrez Suárez, Germán Anatomía Articulación de la Rodilla Imagenología Meniscos Ligamentos Anatomy Knee joint Menisci Ligaments Imaging Introduction: The menisci are two fibrocartilages intended to improve coaptation between the articular surfaces of the femorotibial knee joint. In an inconsistent manner, these are united, at the level of their anterior horns, by the transverse ligament. In magnetic resonance imaging, the insertion of the transverse ligament can give rise to a false image (pitfall) of a tear of the anterior horn of the menisci, by generating a high signal line between the ligament and the anterior horn. The objective of the present work is to determine the frequency of the transverse ligament in cadaveric material and in magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and method: 35 knees were dissected fromadult corpses fixated in formaldehyde, of both sexes, 18 right and 17 left, without ostensible osteoarticular pathology. 195 magnetic resonances of the knees of adult patients, performed since January 2019 until October 2020 at the Hospital de Clínicas were reviewed. In both cases the frequency of the transverse ligament was recorded. Results: Cadaveric study: the transverse ligament was found in 25 cases (71.4%). Imaging study: 2 magnetic resonances had exclusion criteria. The transverse ligament was found in 105 cases (54.4%). Conclusion: The transverse ligament was found in more than half of the individuals studied, regardless of the method. This is relevant considering the clinical and imaging importance of the ligament. Introducción: Los meniscos son dos fibrocartílagos destinados a mejorar la coaptación entre las superficies articulares de la articulación femorotibial de la rodilla. De manera inconstante, sus cuernos anteriores se encuentran unidos por el ligamento transverso. En resonancia magnética, la inserción del ligamento transverso puede dar lugar a una falsa imagen (pitfall) de rotura del cuerno anterior de los meniscos, al generar una línea de alta señal entre el ligamento y el cuerno anterior.  El objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar la frecuencia del ligamento transverso en material cadavérico y en resonancia magnética. Material y método: Se disecaron 35 rodillas de cadáveres adultos formolados, de ambos sexos, 18 derechas y 17 izquierdas, sin patología osteoarticular ostensible. Concomitantemente se revisaron 195 resonancias magnéticas de rodillas de pacientes adultos, realizadas desde enero de 2019 hasta octubre de 2020, en el Hospital de Clínicas. En ambos casos se registró la frecuencia del ligamento transverso. Resultados: Estudio cadavérico: el ligamento transverso se encontró en 25 casos (71,4%). Estudio imagenológico: dos resonancias presentaron criterios de exclusión. El ligamento transverso se encontró en 105 casos (54,4%). Conclusiones: El ligamento transverso se encontró en más de la mitad de los individuos estudiados, independientemente del método de estudio. Esto es relevante dada la importancia clínica e imagenológica de dicho ligamento.
