This side view of the knee shows the lateral collateral ligament, one
of the four ligaments of the knee. The four knee ligaments connect the upper
leg bone (femur) with the large lower leg bone (tibia) and stabilize knee
movement. The lateral collateral ligament helps stabilize side-to-side
movement.
