Knee Rotation:- as extension progresses, shorter, more highly curved lateral condyle exhausts its articular surface andis checked by ACL, whereas larger and less curved medial condyle continues its forwardroll & skids backward, assisted by tightening of PCL;- result is a medial rotation of femur (external tibial rotation) that tightens collateral ligaments, & joint is "screwed home",to use mechanical phraseology;- flexion of extended knee is preceded by lateral rotation of femur (or medial rotation of tibia), usually produced by popliteus;- this rotation relaxes the tension of the collateral ligaments sufficiently to permit flexion;

What muscles work together to straighten your leg?
The muscles used to straighten the leg are commonly known as the Quadriceps, a group of four muscles on the front of the thigh. This, however, is only the cast when the knee is isolated. If you were to stand up from a squatted position, you would also be using your gluteal muscles as well as your hamstrings to extend the thigh and stabilize the knee, while your quads and inner thigh muscles (the adductor) help to straighten the the knee. You would also be using your calf muscles to straighten the ankle.
