A

False, although the cruciate ligaments sit within the capsule, they sit outside the synovial fluid

45
Q

What is the purpose of the cruciate ligaments?

They resist extreme movement

46
Q

Where does the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) attach?

A

Proximal: Posterior inner surface of the lateral femoral condyle

Distal: Anterior medial intercondylar area of the tibia

47
Q

What is the function of the ACL when weight bearing?

A

Prevents posterior movement of femur on tibia

48
Q

What is the function of the ACL when non-weight bearing?

Prevents anterior movement of tibia on femur

49
Q

Q

What is the function of the PCL?

A

Prevents anterior displacement of the femur on the tibia and posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur

also prevents knee hyperflexion

52
Q

Where does the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) attach? What does it do?

A

Proximal: Medial epicondyle of the femur

Distal: Superior medial tibia (on shaft, not condyle)
