Boundaries
- anteriorly
- anterior: anterior cruciate ligament - posteriorly
- posterior: posterior cruciate ligament - inferiorly: tibial plateau
The synovial reflections divide the knee joint into medial and lateral compartment which are continuous anteriorly (anterior to the anterior cruciate ligament). The synovial membrane does not line the posterior surface of posterior cruciate ligament.
