ligaments Flashcards
posterior cruciate ligament
stronger
posterior intercondylar area of tibia attaches to anterior lateral surface of medial condyle of femur
prevents hyper-flexion and anterior rolling
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
weaker of 2
anterior condyle of tibia, goes posterior to the attachment of the medial meniscus to attach to the medial side of lateral condyle of femur
prevents hyperextension
fibular collateral ligament
lateral epicondyle to lateral surface of head of fibia
tibial medial collateral ligament
epicondyle of femur to medial condyle superior part of tibia
menisci medial
attaches to anterior intercondylar area of tibia to attachment of ACL and posterior attachments to to PCL
adheres to the medial collateral ligament
lateral meniscus
circular small popliteus tendon seperates LM from FCL
posterior meniscofemoral ligament
joins lateral meniscus to the PCLand medial femoral condyle
suprapatellar bursa
superior to patella knee joint cavity extends deep to vastus intermedius as suprapatellar bursa
oblique popliteal
reflective expansion of semimembranosus strengths capsule posteriorly
arises posteriorly to medial tibial condyle to attach to central aspect of joint capsule
arcuate popliteal ligament
posterior aspect of fibular head pass to attach to central posterior aspect of joint capsule
