Cruciate Repair

The knee is a fairly complicated joint. It consists of the femur (thigh bone) above, the tibia (shin bone) below, the patella (knee cap) in front. Soft tissues structures called the medial and lateral menisci fit between the femur and tibia like cushions. Four main ligaments hold everything together, allowing the knee to bend the way it should and keep it from bending the way it shouldn’t.
