Normal knee anatomy
From DrKoop's partner site on cholesterol, CholesterolNetwork.com
The ligaments which attach the upper leg bone (femur) to the large lower leg bone (tibia) create a hinge joint called the knee. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are 2 short, strong ligaments which criss-cross each other in the middle of the joint.
