"The pitfall in diagnosing this type of tear is that normally there is a cleft at the attachment site of the ligament of Wrisberg to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, which can be mistaken for a tear. Due to variability in the ligament attachment site, this cleft can extend variably far, and as a result the discrimination between a true tear and a 'pseudo-tear' may pose a challenge. It has been postulated by some authors that the average attachment site lies approximately 14 mm laterally from the lateral edge of the PCL 1, and that any cleft extending farther is suspicious for a tear."
"The ligament of Wrisberg is attached to the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle and to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, coursing posteriorly to the PCL. In case of the ACL tear, anterior tibial translation occurs, resulting in traction of the ligament of Wrisberg against the PCL and tearing a longitudinal fragment of the lateral meniscus, hence the term 'zip tear'."
