lay it flat on the table with the apex facing away from you and the anterior side facing upwards. whichever side it falls to is the side that it is from
3
Q
medialcolateral ligament
A
prevents femur from sliding and adducting the tibula

anterior cruciate ligament
A
notch on distal femur and extends forward, prevents displacement of tibula anterior and femur posterior

Q
valgus angle
A
angle on the femur that points away from the knee joint
