What are the name of the surrounding ligaments of the knee?

Answer 1

Patellar ligament (anterior). Two popliteal ligaments (posterior). Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (inside joint capsule). Tibial collateral ligament (medial). Fibular collateral ligament (lateral).

Answer 2

The four major ligaments of the knee are;

1.Patella ligament

2.Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments

3.Medial and lateral collateral ligaments

4.Oblique and arcuate popliteal ligaments

Answer 3

• anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) - the ligament, located in the center of the knee, that controls rotation and forward movement of the tibia (shin bone).
• posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) - the ligament, located in the center of the knee, that controls backward movement of the tibia (shin bone).
• medial collateral ligament (MCL) - the ligament that gives stability to the inner knee.
• lateral collateral ligament (LCL) - the ligament that gives stability to the outer knee.

Answer 4

The medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament are the ligaments of the knee.

Answer 5

1. Tibial / Fibular Collateral Ligaments

provide medial / lateral support when a person is standing.
2. 2 Popliteal Ligaments

extend from the head of the femur to the fibula and tibia to support the posterior (rear-facing / back) side of the knee.
3. Anterior / Posterior Cruciate Ligaments

are inside the articulate capsule.
4. Patellar Ligament

attaches the inferior aspect of the patella to the tibial tuberosity, adding anterior support to the knee

Answer 6

There are the collaterals (medial and lateral) and the cruciates (anterior and posterior).
