Unit 8: The Lower Extremity — Final exam

Question 20 • Sports Medicine 1b

Compare and contrast the cruciate and collateral ligaments. What is true about these ligaments?

Answer

A

The cruciate ligaments form an X, but the collaterals run on the sides.

B

The cruciate ligaments are in the knee, but the collaterals are in the hip.

C

Both are often injured by bending the toe under or stubbing the toe.

D

Both are important in allowing the foot to turn inward or outward.

Explanation

The cruciate ligaments cross each other inside the knee, forming an X. The collateral ligaments run along the sides of the knee and help stabilize it, so choice A correctly contrasts their positions.
