| ligamentum cricoarytenoideum posterius | <anatomy> The ligament that passes downward from the posterior border of the arytenoid cartilage to the lamina of the cricoid cartilage. Synonym: ligamentum cricoarytenoideum posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ligamentum cricopharyngeum | <anatomy> An elastic band connecting the tip of the corniculate (Santorini's) cartilage and the lamina of the cricoid cartilage and continuing into the pharyngeal mucosa covering the cricoid lamina. Synonym: ligamentum cricopharyngeum, corniculopharyngeal ligament, cricosantorinian ligament, jugal ligament, ligamentum corniculopharyngeum, ligamentum jugale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum cricothyroideum | <anatomy> The strong band that connects the cricoid and thyroid cartilages in the midline anteriorly; it is continuous posteriorly with the conus elasticus. Synonym: conus elasticus, ligamentum cricothyroideum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum cricotracheale | <anatomy> A midline fibrous band connecting the cricoid cartilage with the first ring of the trachea. Synonym: ligamentum cricotracheale, cricotracheal membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum cruciatum anterius | <anatomy> A ligament that stabilises the knee joint. <orthopaedics> A common type of knee sprain which involves injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. The knee with an anterior cruciate ligament injury will usually appear swollen and tender. Reconstruction of the ligament is possible using a fibreoptic procedure, known as arthroscopy, is used in the surgical repair of any of several knee ligaments including the anterior cruciate ligament, lateral or medial meniscus, lateral collateral or medial collateral ligament. Recovery from this procedure is based largely on the ligament repaired and can be highly variable. (06 Oct 1997) |
| ligamentum cruciatum atlantis | The strong ligament that lies posterior to the dens of the axis holding it against the anterior arch of the atlas; it consists primarily of the transverse ligament of the atlas that forms the cross-bar of the cross and is most important functionally, and longitudinal bands of the cruciform ligament, forming the upright or vertical beams of the cross. Synonym: ligamentum cruciforme atlantis, crucial ligament, cruciate ligament of the atlas, ligamentum cruciatum atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum cruciatum cruris | A Y-shaped ligament restraining the extensor tendons of the foot distal to the ankle joint. Synonym: retinaculum musculorum extensorum inferius, cruciate ligament of leg, inferior retinaculum of extensor muscles, ligamentum cruciatum cruris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum cruciatum posterius | <anatomy> A strong ligament of the knee that originates from the anterolateral surface of the medial condyle of the femur, passes posteriorly and inferiorly between the condyles, and attaches to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ligamentum cruciatum tertium genus | <anatomy> The band that passes posterior to the posterior cruciate ligament extending between the medial condyle of the femur and the posterior crus of the lateral meniscus. Synonym: ligamentum meniscofemorale posterius, ligamentum cruciatum tertium genus, ligamentum menisci lateralis, Wrisberg's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum cruciforme atlantis | The strong ligament that lies posterior to the dens of the axis holding it against the anterior arch of the atlas; it consists primarily of the transverse ligament of the atlas that forms the cross-bar of the cross and is most important functionally, and longitudinal bands of the cruciform ligament, forming the upright or vertical beams of the cross. Synonym: ligamentum cruciforme atlantis, crucial ligament, cruciate ligament of the atlas, ligamentum cruciatum atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
