Knee Ligaments


The four major ligaments that support the knee include:

1. Posterior cruciate ligament PCL

2. Anterior cruciate ligament ACL

3. Medial colateral ligament

4. Lateral colateral ligament


The ACL and PCL limit the over straightening, over bending and rotation of the knee. The MCL and LCL prevent side bending.
The ligaments often get injured in the sport community.
