| Dissection of knee | Interior of right knee joint, anterior view showing relations of ligaments to internal structures | In this specimen, shown previously in view 189-7, the iliotibial tract and the patellar retinacula have been removed. The joint capsule has been opened to reveal the extent of the joint cavity anteriorly (5, 9, 17, 21) in relation to the collateral ligaments 97,18) and menisci (8, 19). | 1
