Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ligaments are the tough, fibrous connective tissue that holds the bones of a joint together. In a knee injury, the ligaments that hold the upper and lower leg bones (femur and tibia) together can be damaged, resulting in destabilization of the joint and potential knee problems. Muscle, tendon, cartilage, and membrane are also soft tissues but do not play a role in holding the bones together in a joint.
