Anterior cruciate ligament rupture with Wrisberg rip

Discussion:

Typical findings of an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Vertical tear of the posterior horn lateral meniscus in a Wrisberg rip morphology, which is highly associated with anterior cruciate ligament ruptures. These can sometimes appear as a "Wrisberg pseudotear" where a cleft is seen where the meniscofemoral ligament of Wrisberg inserts onto the posterior horn lateral meniscus, these tend to be more medial and as a rule thumb do not extend to the level of the fibular head. In the setting of the anterior cruciate ligament rupture, the posteromedial meniscocapsular edema is suspicious for an occult meniscal tear and/or ramp lesion.
