The authors studied in the knees of 11 cadavers the presence of medial femoropatellar ligament. In 6 knees the study was anatomical, with dissection and serial sectioning of the anatomic pieces. In 5 knees the study was arthroscopic, by the vizibilization, in the knees, of the ligament found in the six knees that were anatomically studied. In all the anatomic pieces it was possible to dissect the ligament structure described as the medial femoropatellar ligament and in the five knees arthroscopically studied, the visibilization and identification of the ligament was evident.
