The internal lateral ligament is a broad and trapezoid layer ofligamentous fibres, attached above to the tubercle on the internalcondyle of the femur, and below to the side of the inner tuberosity ofthe tibia. It is crossed at its lower part by the tendons of the innerhamstiing, fiom which it is separated by a synovial bmsa, and itcovers in the anterior slip of the semi-membranosus tendon and theinferior internal articular * An anterior view of the ligaments of the knee joint. 1.
