   The lateral meniscus is grooved laterally for the tendon of the popliteus, which separates it from the fibular collateral ligament.. Its anterior end is attached in front of the intercondyloid eminence of the tibia, lateral to, and behind, the anterior cruciate ligament, with which it blends; the posterior end is attached behind the intercondyloid eminence of the tibia and in front of the ...

3. Medial patellofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_patellofemoral_ligament

   The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is one of several ligaments on the medial aspect of the knee. It originates in the superomedial aspect of the patella and inserts in the space between the adductor tubercle and the medial femoral epicondyle. The ligament itself extends from the femur to the superomedial patella, and its shape is similar ...

8. 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 ...
