Which ligament reinforces the joint capsule and prevents posterior and inferior displacement of the condyle?

  1. Lateral ligament

  2. Medial ligament

  3. Capsular ligament

  4. Sphenomandibular ligament

The correct answer is: Capsular ligament

The correct answer is the capsular ligament. This ligament is specifically designed to reinforce the joint capsule and prevent posterior and inferior displacement of the condyle. The lateral and medial ligaments, although also involved in stabilizing the joint, serve different functions and are not specifically tasked with preventing displacement. The sphenomandibular ligament is not located in the same area as the joint capsule and therefore is not involved in preventing displacement in this scenario.
