'''[[Stifle Joint]]'''

* Like the horse the cow has three patellar ligaments; the '''middle patellar ligament''', the '''lateral patellar ligament''' and the '''medial patellar ligament'''.
* Like the horse the cow has three patellar ligaments; the '''middle patellar ligament''', the '''lateral patellar ligament''' and the '''medial patellar ligament'''.
* The '''middle patellar ligament''' connects the the cranial aspect of the [[patella]] apex to the tibial tuberosity. It has one associated bursae; one between the ligament and the groove on the tibial tuberosity. It is palpable just proximal to the tibial plateau.
* The '''middle patellar ligament''' connects the the cranial aspect of the [[Patella - Anatomy & Physiology|patella]] apex to the tibial tuberosity. It has one associated bursae; one between the ligament and the groove on the tibial tuberosity. It is palpable just proximal to the tibial plateau.
* The '''medial patellar ligament''' connects the parapatellar fibrocartilage to the medial aspect of the tibial tuberosity.
* The '''medial patellar ligament''' connects the parapatellar fibrocartilage to the medial aspect of the tibial tuberosity.
* The '''lateral patellar ligament''' the cranio-lateral aspect of the [[patella]] to the lateral aspect of the tibial tuberosity.
* The '''lateral patellar ligament''' the cranio-lateral aspect of the [[Patella - Anatomy & Physiology|patella]] to the lateral aspect of the tibial tuberosity.
* The medial and lateral femorotibial joint capsules communicate and the medial femorotibial communicates with the femoropatellar.
* The medial and lateral femorotibial joint capsules communicate and the medial femorotibial communicates with the femoropatellar.

* The cow has some degree of flexion and extension in its proximal intertarsal joint.
