Medial Ligament Sprain The medial collateral ligament (MCL) joins the inner surfaces of the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). Its function is to resist forces applied from the outer surface of the knee and so prevent the medial (inner) portion of the joint from wideing under stress. The medial ligament has two parts to it - a deep, inner section that attaches to the cartilage meniscus and joint margins and a superficial band that attaches from higher up on the femur to an area, lower down, on the inner surface of the tibia.
