Name
Pronunciation
superior (trans-vurs skap-yoo-la lig-a-ment)
Origin/Proximal Attachment
The anterior & posterior horns attach close together in the intercondylar region. The posterior menisco-femoral ligament ( strong tendinous slip) attaches the lateral meniscus to the posterior cruciate ligament & the medial femoral condyle
Notes
This ligament converts the scapular notch into a foramen. It is a thin and flat fasciculus, narrower at the middle than at the extremities, attached by one end to the base of the coracoid process, and by the other to the medial end of the scapular notch. The suprascapular nerve runs through the foramen; the transverse scapular vessels cross over the ligament. The ligament is sometimes ossified.
