Posterior cruciate ligament Posterior cruciate ligament. The posterior cruciate ligament (or PCL) is one of the four major ligaments of the knee. It connects the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia to the medial condyle of the femur. This configuration allows the PCL to resist forces pushing the tibia posteriorly relative to the femur.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) What is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament - ACL? The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of four ligaments critical to stabilizing the knee joint. A ligament is made of tough fibrous material and functions to control excessive motion by limiting joint mobility. Of the four major ligaments of the knee, the ACL is the most frequently injured.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) The anterior cruciate ligament provides the primary restraint to forward motion of the shin bone (tibia). The anatomy of the knee joint is critical to understanding this relationship. The femur sits on top of the tibia (shin bone), and the knee joint allows movement at the junction of these bones.

Ligaments of the Knee Joint The Ligaments of the Knee: Four ligaments are present in the knee joint: the medical collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. These ligaments provide strength and stability to the knee joint. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. This ligament prevents excessive abduction of the knee.

ICD-10-CM Code S83.5Sprain of cruciate ligament of knee From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important, internal, stabilizer of the knee joint, restraining hyperextension. It is injured when its biomechanical limits are exceeded (over stretched), often with a hyperextension mechanism.

Medial knee injuries Collateral Ligaments. These are found on the sides of your knee. The medial or inside collateral ligament (MCL) connects the femur to the tibia. The lateral or outside collateral ligament (LCL) connects the femur to the smaller bone in the lower leg (fibula). The collateral ligaments control the sideways motion of your knee and brace it against unusual movement.

Lateral Collateral Ligament Sprain and Injury The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is the ligament located in the knee joint. Ligaments are thick, strong bands of tissue that connect bone to bone. The LCL runs along the outside of the knee joint, from the outside of the bottom of the thighbone (femur) to the top of the lower-leg bone (fibula).
