Résumé
This study aimed to evaluate the superficial medial collateral ligament distal tibial attachment (sMCL-dTA) morphologically and morphometrically. Seventeen unpaired formalin-fixed cadaveric knees were used. The sMCL was divided into anterior and posterior sections in the paracoronal plane along the midline of the sMCL. The distance from the medial edge of the tibial plateau and the joint line to the proximal margin, center, and distal margin of the sMCL-dTA and the length of the sMCL-dTA were measured in the anterior section, respectively. The sMCL-dTA was histologically observed in the posterior section with hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining. The distance from the medial edge of the tibial plateauto the proximal margin, center, and distal margin of the sMCL-dTA were 38.1 ± 4.2, 49.7 ± 4.4, and 61.5 ± 5.1 mm, respectively. The perpendicular distance from the joint line to the proximal margin, center, and distal margin of the sMCL-dTA were 36.1 ± 4.0, 47.4 ± 4.2, and 59.1 ± 4.8 mm, respectively. The length of the sMCL-dTA was 23.6 ± 3.2 mm. Histologically, the sMCL-dTA was formed by two layers of collagen fibers: the unidirectional fibrous layer and the multidirectional fibrous layer. The respective thicknesses of the two layers both decreased distally. The anatomical location, the length, and the attachment morphology of sMCL-dTA have been clarified using human cadaveric knees. Anatomical data in the present study contribute to the quality of surgery associated with sMCL-dTA.
