title: Anatomy of the posterior cruciate ligament.
abstract: The views on the structure of the posterior cruciate ligament presented in the literature are not uniform. They can be ranged from those that refer to the ligament as an indivisible structure to those that regard it as an increasingly complex structure consisting of a number of bundles. The divisions are based on criteria related to the attachments, arrangement and functions of the components of the posterior cruciate ligament. Some researchers also specify the role of the receptors of the ligament.
