Knee ligaments
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament
- Limits anterior translation of tibia
- 75% of all hemarthroses are caused by disruption of ACL
- Posterior Cruciate Ligament
- Limits posterior translation of tibia
- Isolated injuries are rare
- Medial Collateral Ligament
- Provide restraint against valgus (outward) stress
- Lateral Collateral Ligament
- Provide restraint against varus (inward) stress
