Medial Collateral (Tibial Collateral) Ligament. The medial collateral (tibial collateral) ligament is a broad, flat band of tissue that connects the medial condyle of the femur (thighbone) to the medial condyle of the tibia at the knee joint. It helps with resisting force from the kneeâs outer surface, preventing side-to-side displacement of the knee in the inner direction. Adductor Tubercle.
The medial collateral ligament is located on the inner side of the kneeâthe side closest to your other legâand the lateral collateral ligament is located on the outer side. These ligaments hold the thigh and lower leg bones together and form an internal âbraceâ that keeps the tibia, which is one of the lower leg bones, in position and prevents it from moving sideways.
