There are four ligaments in the knee that help connect the femur to the tibia and keep your legs stable:
1) Medial collateral ligament (MCL): The MCL connects your femur to your tibia along the inside of your knee. It keeps the inner part of your knee stable and helps control the sideways motion of your knee, like keeping it from bending inward.
2) Lateral collateral ligament (LCL): The LCL connects your femur to your tibia along the outside of your knee. It keeps the outer part of your knee stable and helps control the sideways motion of your knee, like keeping it from bending outward.
3) Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL): The ACL connects your femur to your tibia at the center of the knee. It helps control forward motion and rotation, like keeping your shinbone from sliding out in front of your thighbone.
4) Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) - The PCL connects your femur to your tibia at the back of the knee. It helps control the knee's backward motion, like keeping the shinbone from sliding out under the thighbone.
What else can I help you with?
Which bone will join with the femur?
Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, AcetabelumThe femur articulates with the Tibia, Patellae and the OS coxae (pelvis).Hip bone and shin bone
Is the greater trochanter a lateral or a medial structure of the femur?
The greater trochanter is a lateral structure of the femur.
What bones are inferior to your pelvis?
Tracing down the spine the pelvis leads to the coccyx, aka the tailbone, though the femurs of your legs also extend past the bottom of your pelvis. The pelvis itself is made of the sacrum (back) and os coxa (sides) (and some people include the coccyx.)
In a human body how many ball and socket joints are in the pelvis?
There are two. They are at the point where the femurs and the pelvis join.
The femur joins with the tibia at its distal end and fits into what at its proximal end?
The femur fits into the acetabulum at its proximal end.
In humans the pelvis and the femur or thighbone are involved in walking in whales the pelvis and femur are used for what?

Where in the body is femur found?
The femur is the longest and thickest bone of the human skeleton; and extends from the pelvis to the knee.
Which bone is attached to your hip bone?
the "hip bones", or illium of pelvis, are connected to the pelvis.
What are the three bones that articulate with the femur?
The proximal end of the femur articulates with the acetabulum, which is the socket joint of the pelvis. The acetabulum is formed by the fusion of the three bones which make up the pelvis, the ischium, the ilium and the pubis. The distal end of the femur articulates with the patellae (knee caps) and the tibia.
Which bone will join with the femur?
Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, AcetabelumThe femur articulates with the Tibia, Patellae and the OS coxae (pelvis).Hip bone and shin bone
Is the greater trochanter a lateral or a medial structure of the femur?
The greater trochanter is a lateral structure of the femur.
How many bones in the pelvis?
five. but if u want to count the femur, six.
