    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_knee_injuries

    Knee diagram. Structures on the medial side of the knee include the tibia, femur, vastus medialis obliquus muscle, semitendinosus tendon, gracilis tendon, sartorius tendon, adductor magnus tendon, medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle, semimembranosus tendon, medial meniscus, medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), sMCL, dMCL, and POL.

  3. Medial collateral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_collateral_ligament

    The medial collateral ligament (MCL), also called the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) or tibial collateral ligament (TCL), [1] is one of the major ligaments of the knee. It is on the medial (inner) side of the knee joint and occurs in humans and other primates. Its primary function is to resist valgus (inward bending) forces on ...

  4. Anterior cruciate ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cruciate_ligament

    The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the four main ligaments of the knee, providing 85% of the restraining force to anterior tibial displacement at 30 and 90° of knee flexion. [2] The ACL is the most frequently injured ligament in the knee.

  5. Anterior meniscofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_meniscofemoral...

    The anterior meniscofemoral ligament (ligament of Humphry) is a small fibrous band of the knee joint. [1] It arises from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus and passes superiorly and medially in front of the posterior cruciate ligament to attach to the lateral surface of medial condyle of the femur .

  6. Articular capsule of the knee joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_capsule_of_the...

    The articular capsule of the knee joint is the wide and lax joint capsule of the knee. It is thin in front and at the side, and contains the patella, ligaments, menisci, and bursae of the knee. [1] The capsule consists of an inner synovial membrane, and an outer fibrous membrane separated by fatty deposits anteriorly and posteriorly. [2]

  7. Fibular collateral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibular_collateral_ligament

    The lateral collateral ligament (LCL, long external lateral ligament or fibular collateral ligament) is an extrinsic ligament of the knee located on the lateral side of the knee. [ 1 ] [ verification needed ] [ 2 ] Its superior attachment is at the lateral epicondyle of the femur (superoposterior to the popliteal groove); its inferior ...

  8. Posterior cruciate ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_cruciate_ligament

    The PCL is located within the knee joint where it stabilizes the articulating bones, particularly the femur and the tibia, during movement.It originates from the lateral edge of the medial femoral condyle and the roof of the intercondyle notch [2] then stretches, at a posterior and lateral angle, toward the posterior of the tibia just below its articular surface.

  9. Transverse ligament of knee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_ligament_of_knee

    The transverse ligament is reported in 58 per cent of subjects and is thus the most prevalent of four described meniscomeniscal ligaments. The other ligaments, all three of which are reported with a frequency of less than 4 per cent, are the posterior transverse ligament, described as a bundle of fibers connecting the posterior horns of the menisci; and the medial and lateral oblique ligaments ...
