Which side of the ankle receives primary support from the deltoid ligament?

Which structures provide rotary stability in the knee?

The cruciate ligaments

Looking laterally at a standing athlete, the ASIS is higher than the PSIS. This means

The pelvic girdle is tilted posteriorly

These bones form the ankle joint

T/F The "screw home mechanism" is the rotation of the tibia to match the condyles of the femur when extending the knee prior to stepping forward
