2. 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]

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. Orthopedic mattress - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_mattress

   An orthopedic mattress (or orthopaedic mattress) is a mattress designed to support the joints, back and overall body. The product is informed by the medical study of orthopaedics which focuses on disorders or deformities of the spine and joints. Orthopaedic mattresses have been created to combat the problems one might experience with a bad back ...

5. Medial meniscus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_meniscus

   Its posterior end is fixed to the posterior intercondyloid fossa of the tibia, between the attachments of the lateral meniscus and the posterior cruciate ligament. It is fused with the tibial collateral ligament which makes it far less mobile than the lateral meniscus. The points of attachment are relatively widely separated and, because the ...

6. Fibular collateral ligament - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibular_collateral_ligament

   Both collateral ligaments are taut when the knee joint is in extension. With the knee in flexion, the radius of curvatures of the condyles is decreased and the origin and insertions of the ligaments are brought closer together which make them lax. The pair of ligaments thus stabilize the knee joint in the coronal plane. Therefore, damage and ...

7. Medial knee injuries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_knee_injuries

   [2] [9] This distal attachment is the stronger of the two and makes up the floor of the pes anserine bursa. The proximal tibial attachment of the sMCL is the primary stabilizer to valgus force on the knee, whereas the distal tibial attachment is the primary stabilizer of external rotation at 30° of knee flexion. [3] [9]

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 ...
