35+ Knee Tendon And Ligament Anatomy. The anterior cruciate ligament (acl) in front, and the posterior cruciate ligament (pcl) in back. Ligaments are strong, tough bands that are not particularly flexible.
The tendon of the popliteus (through the popliteal hiatus), a bursa and the lateral inferior geniculate. The ligaments surrounding the knee joint offer stability by limiting movements and the oblique popliteal ligament is a radiation of the tendon of the semimembranosus on the medial side, from thieme atlas of anatomy: Knee joint anatomy is complex with muscles, ligaments, cartilage and tendons.
The medial part of the tendon of the popliteus is attached to the lateral meniscus which along with the two meniscofemoral ligaments makes this meniscus mobile.
Patellar ligament, medial and lateral patellar retinacula, tibial (medial) collateral ligament, fibular (lateral) collateral. The knee is a complex joint made up of different structures including bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The knee joint is relatively weak due to incongruence of the articular surfaces. Knee anatomy is quite complex as it forms an important structure of lower limb.
