However there are no data regarding the prognosis following injury to this ligament. Our case was a 42-year-old man who presented at our clinic with pain of the lateral side of his left knee. MRI of his left knee revealed the rupture of the meniscofibular ligament. The mechanism of injury was consistent with anatomical and mechanical studies of the meniscofibular ligament. The patient was treated conservatively for 1 year but his pain did not resolve completely. A case series of patients with the same injury is required to establish an effective treatment for this rare injury. Introduction The lateral collateral ligament of the knee consists of superficial intermediate and deep layers which contain defined ligaments and pericapsular tissues. The menisco-fibular ligament is an anatomically defined ligament of the knee in humans 1-3 . However there are no data regarding injury to this ligament and the prognosis. Boz-kurt et al. confirmed the presence of this ligament in all the subjects examined in their study demonstrating increased tension of this ligament during dorsiflexion of the ankle and describing its protective function against varus forces to the knee and external rotation forces to the leg 1 . Furthermore Bozkurt et al. emphasized the need for biomechanical radiological and clinical studies of the meniscofibular ligament 1 . Although anatomical and mechanical characteristics of the meniscofibular ligament have been described to the best of our knowledge no case of injury to this ligament has been reported in the literature. Here we describe a case of meniscofibular ligament .
