Knee ligaments and cartilage 1. ACL- Anterior cruciate ligament: prevents the tibia from shifting anteriorly.
Knee ligaments and cartilage 2. PCL- Posterior cruciate ligament: prevents the tibia from shifting posteriorly.
Knee ligaments and cartilage 3. MCL- Medial collateral ligament: prevents inward or medial collapse.
Knee ligaments and cartilage 4. LCL- Lateral collateral ligament: prevents outward or lateral collapse.
Knee ligaments and cartilage 5. Medial and Lateral Meniscus: provides stability and cushion.
