Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL); MPFL starts at the adductor tubercle of the femur and proceeds as a wide band towards the supero-medial of the patella. It is primarily responsible for the primary stabilization of the patella that remains in the patellar surface, especially at extension and at the beginning of flexion. MPFL is a frequently injured ligament in acute patella dislocations. Anterolateral ligament (ALL); distal femur, lateral epicondyle periphery, more anterior to the lateral collateral ligament, the periphery of the Gerdy tubercle attaches to the tibia It is thought to play a role in rotational stability of the knee and it is thought that rotational stability is decreased in pathology. It is thought that rotational stability is decrease in damage. Posterior oblique ligament (POL is seen as a facial enlargement on the distal side of the semimembranosus tendon. It is a ligamentous structure that prevents posterior translation of the tibia. For combined injuries of postero-medial and posterior cruciate ligament, POL should be checked and repaired if necessary. It is thought that there is a decrease in the stability of posterior tibial translation of the knee in POL injuries. Since these ligaments, which are not included in Nomina Anatomica, will change the delicate load balances on the joint in the presence of pathology, the joint cannot withstand this situation sufficiently and the degenerative process begins. Therefore, the anatomy of the ligaments forming the knee joint should be well known and pathologies should be clearly identified.
