An understanding of the knee’s fundamental anatomy and biomechanics serves as the basis for the clinical examination, therapeutic indications, surgical approaches, and successful operative techniques. In this chapter, the clinically relevant aspects of the anatomy and biomechanics of the knee joint are ...
Within the true pelvis the lateral pelvic walls slant toward one another at approximately a 15° angle so that lines drawn down these walls would intersect at the level of the knees. Because of the inward inclination of the walls and protrusion of the ischial spines into the pelvic cavity (...
Posterolateral aspect and stability of the knee joint. I. Anatomy and function of the popliteus muscle-tendon unit: an anatomical and biomechanical study. This study examined ten human adult cadaveric knees to dissect the popliteus muscle-tendon unit (PMTU), including its numerous attachments to oth...
Makes walking more efficient - just try walking without bending your knees and you'll see how much harder it is Acts with the ankle joint as a strong forward propeller of the body - particularly important when running Provides stability and proprioception of the leg ...

Towards the end of the 20s, skirts became more narrow, and so short side slits which start at or below the knees became popular by way of practicality. By themid 1930s, the golden era of qipao, qipaos became floor-length, and side slits crept up to the thighs, creating a very sensua...
It happens when the femur bones are rotated inward, leading to inward positioning of the knees and toes. Legg Calve Perthes disease is a rare childhood disease of the hip joint. It affects blood flow to the head of the femur. A lack of blood causes the bone tissue to die, a condition...
摘要: Orthogonal sections usually suffice to demonstrate the soft tissues of the knees, but oblique MR sections may provide better images of the cruciate ligaments. The authors cite indications for oblique sections and discuss their production.关键词:...
It also accounts for the characteristic inward bulging at the knees. It is associated with a small conical protuberance known as the adductor tubercle, which provides a point of attachment for the large adductor magnus (powerful medial thigh muscle that moves the thigh medially). The medial epi...
The shoulders may vary but always within this zone. (Notice what this does to the legs: the thighs taper in much more from the hips to join the knees, which haven't changed position. Men's legs look more vertical relative to women's). To make the neutral figure male, the pelvic ...
