Anatomical evaluation of the superficial medial collateral ligament distal tibial attachment of the knee

Histologically, the superficial medial collateral ligament distal tibial attachment 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. Anatomical data in the present study contribute to the quality of surgery associated with superficial medial collateral ligament distal tibial attachment.
