Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restatement: The anterior cruciate ligament extends from the lateral condyle of the femur to the _____.
Option 1: medial condyle of the femur — This is incorrect because the ACL does not attach to the medial condyle of the femur; it originates from the lateral aspect of the femoral condyle, not the medial side.
Option 2: lateral epicondyle of the femur — This choice is not accurate for the ACL attachment; the ligament attaches in the intercondylar area rather than the epicondyle region of the femur.
Option 3: anterior area to the intercondylar eminence of the tibia — This is the correct description: the ACL attaches to the anterior part of the intercondylar region of the tibia, aligning with its role in restricting anterior tibial translation.
Option 4: medial condyle of the tibia — This is incorrect because the tibial attachment is not at the medial condyle; the intercondylar eminence area is the proper tibial site for the ACL.
Option 5: head of the fibula — The ACL does not attach near the fibular head, making this option clearly false.
Additional note: Understanding cruciate ligament attachments requires remembering that the ACL runs from the lateral femoral condyle to the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia, which helps prevent forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur and contributes to knee stability.
