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 knee joint is the largest joint of the body, that comprises of articulation between femur and tibia, and femur and patella. The bone shapes, the cruciate ligaments and the ligaments and tendons on the medial and lateral sides of the knee allow six degree of movements, three in translatio...
Two structures called menisci sit between the femur and the tibia. These structures act as “cushions” or “shock absorbers”. They also help provide stability to the knee. There is a medial meniscus and a lateral meniscus. When either meniscus is damaged it is often referred to as a “to...
Patella increases the mechanical advantage of the knee. Stability is provided by the joint anatomy plus the presence of multiple patellofemoral ligaments. Proximal tibiofibular syndesmosis A relatively immobile joint in which the proximal tibia andfibulaFibulaThe bone of the lower leg lateral to and...
1. Knee Bone Anatomy The most basic component of knee joint anatomy are theboneswhich provide the structure to the knee. There are four knee bones that fit together to make two different knee joints: Femur:the thigh bone Patella:the kneecap ...
Composed of three articulations (lateral tibiofemoral, medial tibiofemoral, and patellofemoral), the knee represents the largest joint in the body. As a pivotal-hinge type synovial joint, the knee provides a locomotive and load-bearing role by permitting flexion and extension, in addition to a smal...
图形3 - Anatomy of the knee on a coronal slice (MRI) : meniscus (lateral and medial), cruciate ligaments, vastus (lateralis, intermedius, medialis), tibial and fibular collateral ligaments. 图形4 - 3D pictures of the knee : anterior view showing the anatomy of the patella, femur, tibia...
The lateral collateral ligament is the primary varus stabilizer of the tibiofemoral joint. Diagnosing an injury to this ligament can be challenging in the setting of multiligamentous trauma; however, failure to recognize these injuries can result in instability of the knee and unsatisfactory outcomes ...
The leg muscles, anatomically defined as the region of the lower limb below the knee, are organized into three compartments: anterior, posterior, and lateral. Anterior (Dorsiflexor) Group This group contains the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, fibularis tertius, and extensor hallucis ...
