Ligamentum
meniscofemorale anterius (Humphry) and ligamentum meniscofemorale posterius (Wrisberg) in MRI. There is effusion of blood in the joint cavity from a trauma wich did not affect the posterior ligaments.

Ligamentum
meniscofemorale posterius (Wrisberg) behind the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus mimicing a tear. There is effusion of blood in the joint cavity from a trauma wich did not affect the posterior elements.

A useful mnemonic for how the meniscofemoral ligaments course in relation to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is:
- the ligament of Wrisberg rides the PCL (i.e. is posterosuperior)
- the ligament of Humphrey is humped by the PCL (i.e. is anteroinferior)
