Medial meniscus Fig. 250.—Proximal End of Right Tibia with Menisci, Etc. 1, 2, Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments: 3, posterior ligament of medial meniscus; 4, femoral ligament of lateral meniscus; 5, 5', anterior ligaments of menisci; 6, groove for popliteus tendon; 7, spine of tibia; 8, 9, medial and lateral femoro-tibial ligaments. 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 synovial 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 tiljial 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 1, 2, Medial and lateral patellar ligaments; ^Yivecied upward and forward, and cncls in the 3,4, anterior ligaments of menisci; a, 7, anterior " ^ ' ^ and posterior cruciate ligaments; G, posterior ailteriOr part of the interCOllclA'loicl foSSa of ligament of medial meniscus. tll6 femUt' It may be added that these ligaments do not lie in a sagittal plane, but are somewhat twisted across each other; outward rotation of the leg untwists and slackens them.
