A really important part of knee joint anatomy is the cartilage. There are two different types ofknee cartilage: Articular Cartilage:a thin layer of cartilage which lines the surfaces of the knee joints Knee Meniscus:a special extra thick layer of cartilage that sits on the top of the tibia ...
Thekneeis the largest joint in your body and one of the mosteasily injured. It is a pivotal hinge joint in the leg that allows for a variety of movements (i.e. flexion, extension, medial rotation, and lateral rotation) and it connects the tibia and the fibula, with the thigh bone (f...

The ankle is a highly congruent synovial, hinge-type joint, in which the talus fits perfectly into the mortise formed by the tibial plateau, and the tibial and fibular malleoli. This anatomical conformation allows movement through only one axis, the bimalleolar axis, through which dorsiflexion an...
