These almost always occur with a concomitant anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. The meniscocapsular junction is the area where the peripheral attachment of the meniscus meets the joint capsule. In the context of ramp lesions, this region is susceptible to damage when there is an injury to the ACL. The medial meniscus serves as a firm attachment between the tibia and the femur, functioning as a stabilizer for the knee. It plays a crucial role in preventing anterior translation, particularly in knees with ACL deficiency, making it particularly prone to injuries. The ACL tear can cause the tibia to excessively translate anteriorly, leading to stress on the posterior aspect of the medial meniscus. Ramp lesions have significant biomechanical implications, and their occurrence is more prevalent than previously believed. Untreated ramp lesions may contribute to persistent knee symptoms, instability, and impaired function. These lesions are frequently underdiagnosed, leading to a lack of timely surgical intervention in standard knee arthroscopies. This limitation arises from the reliance on anterior portals, restricting a comprehensive evaluation of the posterior horn and attachment of the medial meniscus. Owing to its tendency to go unnoticed during magnetic resonance imaging interpretation and its \u201cblind\u201d spot in arthroscopic vision, achieving an accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial. The objective of this article is to comprehensively present recent findings in the literature regarding meniscal ramp lesions, encompassing their anatomical, biomechanical, and diagnostic characteristics in an illustrative manner.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1800805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,14]],"date-time":"2025-02-14T01:01:16Z","timestamp":1739494876000},"page":"494-503","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Understanding the Ramp Tears of the Knee Joint: Types, Consequences, and Treatment"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1330-3962","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nafisa Shakir","family":"Batta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Mahajan Imaging, Sports Injury Centre, Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3387-8779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abhinetri","family":"KSV","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahajan Imaging, Sports Injury Centre, Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heena","family":"Rajani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahajan Imaging, Sports Injury Centre, Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3670-606X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Riya","family":"Samanta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahajan Imaging, Sports Injury Centre, Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"01","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"134","DOI":"10.1186\/s13244-021-01080-9","article-title":"Meniscal ramp lesions: an illustrated review","volume":"12","author":"A K Taneja","year":"2021","journal-title":"Insights Imaging"},{"issue":"12","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1683","DOI":"10.1007\/s00256-018-3007-4","article-title":"MR evaluation of the meniscal ramp lesion in patients with anterior cruciate ligament tear","volume":"47","author":"Y Yeo","year":"2018","journal-title":"Skeletal Radiol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"525","DOI":"10.1007\/s00256-021-03858-w","article-title":"The accuracy of MRI for the diagnosis of ramp lesions","volume":"51","author":"M Laurens","year":"2022","journal-title":"Skeletal Radiol"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1673","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546520918207","article-title":"Analysis of risk factors for ramp lesions associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury","volume":"48","author":"S H Kim","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Sports Med"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"485","DOI":"10.1007\/s12178-021-09729-0","article-title":"Current concepts in anterior tibial closing wedge osteotomies for anterior cruciate ligament deficient knees","volume":"14","author":"A S Vadhera","year":"2021","journal-title":"Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med"},{"issue":"12","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3955","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-017-4523-9","article-title":"MRI can accurately detect meniscal ramp lesions of the knee","volume":"25","author":"J W Arner","year":"2017","journal-title":"Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"677","DOI":"10.1007\/s00256-020-03381-4","article-title":"MRI appearance of the different meniscal ramp lesion types, with clinical and arthroscopic correlation","volume":"49","author":"D N Greif","year":"2020","journal-title":"Skeletal Radiol"}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0044-1800805.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,16]],"date-time":"2025-06-16T22:39:18Z","timestamp":1750113558000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0044-1800805"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,13]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,16]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,7]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0044-1800805","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0971-3026","1998-3808"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0971-3026"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1998-3808"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,13]]}}}
