What ligament is on the knee area posterior side of femur on tibia?

Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.


What are the knee ligaments name's?

Medial Collateral Ligament - Liimits sideways motion Lateral Collateral Ligament - Also limits sideways motion Anterior Cruciate Ligament - Limits rotation and forward motion of the tibia. Posterior Cruciate ligament - limits the backwards motion of the knee. Patellar Ligament - attaches the kneecap to the tibia


What is the tibia connected to?

The tibia is connected to the fibula. They are both located on the leg below the knee.


The two bones between the knee and ankle are called?

The two bones between the knee and ankle are the tibia (shinbone) and fibula. The tibia is located on the inner side of the leg and is the larger of the two bones, while the fibula is located on the outer side of the leg. Both bones are crucial for weight-bearing and movement of the lower leg.


Is the Tibial collateral ligament joined to the joint capsule?

The tibial collateral ligament is also known as the medial collateral ligament and is joint proximally to the Medial Condyle of the femur and distally to the body of the tibia a little bit below the condyle level. No

Where is the tibia located?

The tibia is part of the lower leg. Below your thigh, (femur), and your knee,(patella), are two long bones, the tibia and the fibula. They are easy to tell apart in that the tibia is larger then the fibula. "The shin bone", is your tibia. It is slightly stronger than the fibula.

No, the Tibia is part of the knee, located next to the Fibula.

How are the tibia and fibula connected?

The tibia and fibula are connected by ligaments, which are strong bands of tissue that hold the bones together at the knee and ankle joints. Additionally, there are also muscles that attach to both bones, providing stability and allowing for movement of the lower leg.


What is another name for a lower leg bone?

there are actually two bones that make up the leg below the knee. The tibula is in the front, commonly referred to as the shin, and the fibula is in the rear.


What is the bone below the knee?

There are two the tibia (medially) and the fibula (lateraly)


What bone articulate most with the tibia?

The tiba articulates with the fibula an the femur at the knee joint. And at the ankle it articulates with the talus and fibula.
