There are four ligaments around the knee joint. A ligament is a tough strip of connective tissue that joins one bone to another bone around a joint. The knee joint ligaments help to stabilise and support the knee when it is moved into different positions. Each ligament has a different job to do: 1  The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the ligaments on the side of the knee joint. 2  The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is the other main ligament on the other side of the knee joint. 3  The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the ligaments inside the knee joint.
