It covers the tendon of the origin of the popliteus muscle, a bursa being interposed between the two; another bursa is present between the lower part of the ligament and the margin of the lateral condyle of the tibia. The cruciate ligaments are two strong rounded bands situated mainly in the inter- condyloid fossa of the femur, between the two sjmovial sacs. They cross each other some- what in the form of an X, and are named ac- cording to their tibial attachments. The anterior cruciate ligament (Lig. cruciatum an- terius) arises in the central fossa on the tibial spine, extends upward and backward, and ends on the lateral wall of the intercondyloid fossa. The posterior cruciate ligament (Lig. crucia- tum posterius) is medial to the preceding, and is somewhat larger. It is attached to an emi- nence at the popliteal notch of the tibia, is directed upward and forward, and ends in the anterior part of the intercondyloid fossa of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Sisson, Septimus, 1865-1924.
