MARQUEZ BENITEZ, Mariana Patricia et al. Meniscal detachment as a cause of joint locking: a correlation of radiological and surgical findings. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.61-65. ISSN 1870-7203.

Meniscocapsular ligaments are meniscal fixation structures; their lesions contribute to meniscal hypermobility and its possible detachment. Its gold standard method of study is magnetic resonance imaging. Meniscal detachment can be mistaken for a bucket-handle tear, and therefore, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
