Ligaments are collagen - rich connective tissues that reinforce joints. Extracapsular ligaments are outside the joint capsule and help stabilize synovial joints. Meniscus is a fibrocartilage in the joint, not outside the capsule. Tendons attach muscle to bone, not the same as reinforcing joint outside the capsule. Cruciate ligaments are inside the joint capsule.
