Ligaments are strong, thick fibrous bands, like ropes, that connect bone to bone, provide stability, control movement and prevent injury.

Along the medial side of the knee, the medial collateral ligament (MCL) connects the medial side of the femur to the tibia and prevents forces applied to the lateral side of the knee from moving the knee medially.
