We just learned about the Hip & Femur Ligaments.
Another set of ligaments are the Knee Ligaments.
There are four main ligaments that connect the femur bone in the thigh, to the tibia and fibula bones of the lower leg.
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) connects the back of the femur to the front of the tiba. It helps keep the knee from twisting.
The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) connects the front of the femur to the back of the tibia.
The Medial Cruciate Ligament (MCL) connects the inside of the femur to the inside of the tibia.
The Lateral Cruciate Ligament (LCL) connects the outside of the femur to the fibula.
