255. Right knee joint, articulatio genu, 



from in front. 

 (The knee is flexed at a right angle; the patella and the capsule of the joint have been removed.) 



Articulatio genu (continued) (see also Figs. 253, 254 and 257). The licja- 

 mentum cmciatum anterius (0. T. anterior or external crucial ligament) (see also 

 Figs. 253, 254 and 257) has a broad origin on the non- cartilaginous, medial surface 

 of the condylus lateralis femoris, near its posterior margin. From there on it becomes 

 narrower, passes as a flatly rounded bundle obliquely forward, downward, and median- 

 ward and is attached especially to the tuberculum intercondyloideum mediale and in the 

 fossa iritercondvloidea anterior tibiae.
