A useful mnemonic for how the meniscofemoral ligaments course in relation to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is:

the posterior meniscofemoral ligament (of Wrisberg) rides the PCL (i.e. is posterosuperior)
the anterior meniscofemoral ligament (of Humphrey) is humped by the PCL (i.e. is anteroinferior)
