Knee
Anterior Cruciate Ligament
The antatomy of the ACL and PCL is
demonstrated in this photo.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament
    
The posterior cruciate ligament has a
broad fan shaped attachment on the femoral condyle. The
tibial attachment site is 10mm below the joint line and
slightly lateral. The PCL consist of 2 distinct bundles,
the anterolateral that is tight in flexion, and the
posteromedial, that is tight in flexion.
Meniscus
 
The medial and lateral meniscus are
semi-lunar crescents on the tibial surface that contour
to the shape of the femur and provide stability, shock
absorption, and lubrication for the knee joint.
