Mf'dial incniacKS Fig. 2.')n.—Proxi> r and posterior cruciate lig; lateral meniscus: 5, 5', anterior ligaments of and lateral femoro-tibial ligaments. Ant< End of Right Tibia w 3, posterior ligament of l ; (i, groove for poplite SCI, Etc. edial meniscus; 4, femoral ligament of tendon; 7, spine of tibia; S, 9, medial It vers 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- eondyloid 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 tlie central fossa on the tibial spine, extends ujiward and backward, and emls on the lateral wall of the intercondyloid fossa. The posterior cruciate ligament (Lig. crucia- FiG. ,mal Exd of Right Tibia of tmii posterius) Is medial to the preceding, and Horse, with Areas of Ligamentous At- is SOlUewhat larger. It is attachetl to ail eiui- uence at the popliteal notch of the tibia, is L 2, Medial and lateral patellar ligaments; (-ii,.pcted upward and forward, and euds in the 3. 4, anterior ligaments of menisci; .5,7, anterior i _ , . i i • i i* and posterior cruciate ligaments; 6, posterior autcnor part of the mterCOnd\'lold lOSSa of ligament of medial meniscus. the It m<ay 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.
