Tibial collateral ligament, Lig. collaterale tibiale;
knee in extended position;

Only the posterior fibres of the tibial collateral ligament are
attached to the medial meniscus.

knee in flexed position (90°);
medial view.
In the course of flexion, the posterior and proximal fibres of the
tibial collateral ligament become twisted, thereby stabilizing
the medial meniscus.
