Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.
Femoral
The ligament of Wrisberg is in the knee. It runs from the medial femoral condyle behind the posterior cruciate ligament to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. If the ligament runs in front of the posterior cruciate ligament, it is a ligament of Humphries.
The hamstrings are the group of muscles that form the flesh of the posterior surface of the thigh. They consist of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus muscles. These muscles are responsible for knee flexion and hip extension.
The kidneys have their anterior and posterior surfaces. The foremost surface countenances towards the front stomach wall, while the back posterior surfaces confronting the posterior stomach wall. These surfaces are isolated by the edges of the kidney, which are the significant convexity horizontally, and minor concavity medially.
