Ismail is an unrestrained passenger in the front seat of a car that strikes a utility pole. Ismail's tibia contacts the dashboard with great force. Which ligament of the articulatio genus would most likely be torn during this injury? Anterior cruciate Patellar ligament Fibular (lateral) collateral Posterior cruciate Tibial (medial) collateral

Step 1
In this case, Ismail's tibia contacts the dashboard with great force. This force would cause the knee to bend in an unnatural way, putting stress on the ligaments that stabilize the knee joint. The articulatio genus (knee joint) has several ligaments, including Show more…

Match the stabilizing ligament of the knee to its function. Crosses from the posterior of the femur to the anterior tibia. Prevents anterior translation of the tibia. PCL Crosses from the anterior of the femur to the posterior tibia. Prevents posterior translation of the tibia. ACL External ligament which prevents lateral translation of the tibia. FCL & TCL Connects to the kneecap, creating leverage when extending the knee. Patellar Ligament
