The tibial and fibular collateral ligaments reinforce the medial and lateral surfaces of the knee joint, they only tighten at full extension of the joint, and they act to stabilize the joint. The patellar ligament attaches the patella to the tibia and helps in extending the leg. The popliteal ligaments are located at the back of the knee joint and help to stabilize the joint. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments help to prevent excessive movement of the tibia in relation to the femur.
