It also analyzes the current state of art on such malformations and options for their treatment. The authors present their rationale on selecting a curative modality. The described developmental anomaly included the following: no tibial attachment of anterior horns of both meniscus, agenesis of the anterior cruciate ligament as well as of anterolateral and anteromedial meniscofemoral ligaments which were joined into a structure mimicking the track of native anterior cruciate ligament and attaching the femur lateral condyle in the projection of intercondylar ridge.</p><p><bold>Material and methods. </bold>Based on examination findings as well as on known curative options for similar anomalies, the researchers decided to perform the anchor stabilization of anterior horns of both menisci. Since there are no data on this type of knee surgery, the surgeons decided to make anchor stabilization similar to that which is used for the capsulolabral complex in case of instability of the shoulder joint. Surgical stages: stitching the anterior horns of both menisci, formation of bone channels in the projection of the proper anatomical attachment of the anterior horns to tibia condyles , their installation and fixation to the system of suture anchors.</p><p><bold>Results.</bold> The chosen curative modality has shown good clinical results during 12-month clinical observation.</p><p><bold>Conclusions. </bold>For the first time, the authors have described such combination of anomalies and variants of its correction. As it has been noted, MRI and clinical findings may contradict each other and create a false picture of the presence of anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus injury. For better differentiation of such anomalies, it is recommended to perform additional axial MRI protocols with the increased number of images.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение. </bold>В статье описан редкий случай врождённой аномалии коленного сустава, рассмотрено современное состояние вопроса о подобных пороках развития и вариантах их лечения, а также приведено обоснование выбора метода лечения. Аномалия развития включала в себя отсутствие большеберцового прикрепления передних рогов обоих менисков, недоразвитие передней крестообразной связки в сочетании с переднелатеральной и переднемедиальной менискобедренными связками, объединёнными в единую структуру, имитирующую ход нативной передней крестообразной связки, и прикрепляющуюся к латеральному мыщелку бедренной кости в проекции intercondylar ridge.</p><p><bold>Материал и методы. </bold>Исходя из данных обследования, а также анализа известных вариантов лечения похожих аномалий, нами было принято решение о выполнении якорной стабилизации передних рогов обоих менисков. Поскольку данные о выполнении подобного типа операций на коленном суставе при такой патологии отсутствуют, за основу была взята методика якорной стабилизации капсулолабрального комплекса при нестабильности плечевого сустава. Проведенная операция включала в себя: прошивание передних рогов обоих менисков, формирование костных каналов в проекции должного анатомического прикрепления передних рогов к мыщелкам большеберцовой кости, установка и фиксация их к системе шовных якорей.</p><p><bold>Результаты. </bold>Выбранный метод лечения показал хорошие клинические результаты в течение 12 мес наблюдения.</p><p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Данный случай впервые описывает такую совокупность аномалий и вариант её коррекции. Отмечено, что результаты МРТ и клинического обследования могут противоречить друг другу и создавать ложную картину наличия передней крестообразной связки и повреждения менисков. Для дифференциации подобных аномалий рекомендовано выполнение на МРТ дополнительных аксиальных протоколов с увеличенным количеством срезов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>knee joint</kwd><kwd>meniscofemoral ligaments</kwd><kwd>agenesis</kwd><kwd>anterior cruciate ligament</kwd><kwd>instability</kwd><kwd>arthroscopy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>коленный сустав</kwd><kwd>менискобедренные связки</kwd><kwd>агенез</kwd><kwd>передняя крестообразная связка</kwd><kwd>нестабильность</kwd><kwd>артроскопия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>1.
