- Recessus subextensorius
- Recessus subpopliteus
- Meniscus lateralis
- Meniscus medialis

Ligaments inside the stifle joint
- Lig.transversum genus
- Lig.meniscotibiales: Lig.craniale menisci laterale and -mediale, Lig.caudale laterale and -mediale
- Lig.cruciatum craniale
- Lig.cruciatum caudale

Ligaments outside the stifle joint
5 ligaments
- Retinaculum patellae
- Lig.patellae
- Lig.collaterale laterale
- Lig.collaterale mediale
- Lig.femoropatellare laterale
- Lig.femoropatellare mediale
Retinaculum patellae
From fascia latae and aponeurosis om muscles, covers stifle
Lig.patellae
Continuation of tendon from m.quadriceps femoris. The patella is a sesamoid bone in the tendon, before the ligament inserts on tub.tibiae
Lig.collaterale laterale
From laterale epicondyle of femur to caput fibulare and a lesser part to the lateral condyle of tibia. Underneath there is the tendon om m.popliteus.
Lig.collaterale mediale
From medial epicondyle of femur to medial condyle of tibia and a strong attachment to the medial meniscus.
Lig.femoropatellare laterale
From lateral Vesalius (sesamoid) bone to patella and also to the lateral epicondyle of femur. Reinforcment of joint´s capsule.
Lig.femoropatellare mediale
From medial Vesalius (sesamoid) bone to patellae, and also to the medial epicondyle of femur. Reinforcment of joint´s capsule.
Corpus adiposum infrapatellare
Fatty tissue under the lig.patellare
Bursa infrapatellaris
Under lig.patellare at tub.tibiae
Recessus suprapatellaris
Behind and above patella
Recessus subextensorius
Around tendon of m.ext.dig.longus
Recessus subpopliteus
Around tendon of m.popliteus
Meniscus laterale
Fibrocartilage between femur and tibia
Meniscus mediale
Fibrocartilage between femur and tibia
Fibrocartilago parapatellaris
Around patella, on both sides
Lig.transversum genus
Connects cranial angles of the two meniscus
Ligg.meniscotibiales
From the cranial and caudal ends of both meniscus to the tibia´s…
- Lig.craniale menisci laterale: Area intercondylaris cran. lat.
- Lig.craniale menisci mediale: Area intercond. cran.med.
- Lig.caudal menisci laterale: Incisura poplitea
- Lig.caudale menisci mediale: Area intercond. cau.
Lig.cruciatum craniale
From laterale femoral condyle´s caudal axial surface to the area intercond. cran. of tibia
Lig.cruciatum caudale
From medial femoral condyle´s cranial axial surface to the area intercon. cau. and incisura poplitea of tibia.
Lig.meniscofemorale
From medial femoral condyle´s cau. axial surface to the caudal end of lateral meniscus.
Lig.popliteum obliquum
Fibrous reinforcment in cau. wall of joint´s capsule
M.popliteus
O: Fossa m.politei on condylus lateralis of femur
I: Twist cau. under lig.collaterale laterale then inserts cau. on prox. of tibia, on linea m.politei
A: Flexes stifle, rotates leg medially
M.quadriceps femoris
4 muscle bellies
O: Rectus femoris; Corpus of ilium - area m. recti femoris lat. and med., the 3 vastus from prox. of femur, -med; craniomed., -lat; craniolat, -intermed; cranial
I: Patella, by means of patellar lig. on tub.tibiae
A: Strongest extensor of stifle, m.rectus femoris also flex hip
