Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cruciate ligaments (anterior and posterior) protect the alignment of the femoral and tibial condyles and limit the movement of the femur anteriorly and posteriorly. The patellar ligament connects the patella to the tibia, while the tibial collateral ligaments are located on the sides of the knee and provide stability to prevent excessive lateral or medial movement. The anterior ligaments do not specifically refer to any ligaments in the knee joint.
