The most 140 Artistic Anatomy. remarkable characteristic of these ligaments is that their upper ends, attached to the lateral surfaces of the condyles of the femur, are not inserted at the centre of the curve of the condyles, but at a point situated more posteriorly {a, b, Figs. 46 and 47). During flexion these ligaments are therefore relaxed, but as extension is produced, as the tibia is carried forward on the curved surface of the condyles of the femur, these ligaments gradually become tense,... their points of insertion becoming further and fiirther apart, owing to the eccentric insertion of their superior extremities. When the leg reaches that position of extension in which it is in line with the femur, the tension of the lateral ligaments is such as to arrest its movement and completely fix the leg in relation to the thigh. This may be seen by comparing Figs. 46 and 47. We see, then, that owing to the position of the anterior, posterior, and lateral hgaments of the knee-joint, the movement of flexion in this joint is very extensive, while that of extension is limited, as it cannot be prolonged further than the position which brings the leg into direct continuity with the thigh.
