Knee joint anatomy involves looking at each of the different structures in and around the knee. The knee joint is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the human body. There are various muscles that control movement, ligaments that give stability, special cartilage to absorb ...
The knee joint is the largest joint in the human body, and the joint most commonly affected by arthritis. Knowing about knee anatomy can help people understand how knee arthritis develops and sometimes causes pain. SeePossible Causes of Severe Knee Pain This video cannot be played because of a...
An overview of the anatomy of the knee joint including bony articulations, ligaments, menisci, arterial supply, innervation and relevant muscles.
As the knee is a synovial hinge joint, its function is to permit the flexion and extension of the lower leg relative to the thigh. The range of motion of the knee is limited by the anatomy of the bones and ligaments, but allows around 120 degrees of flexion. A special characteristic of...
The knee-joint was formerly described as a ginglymus or hinge-joint, but is really of a much more complicated character. It must be regarded as consisting of three articulations in one: two condyloid joints, one between each condyle of the femur and the corresponding meniscus and condyle of...
Within a knee joint, the suprapatellar bursa separates the tendon of the large anterior thigh muscle from the distal femur just above the knee, and the prepatellar bursa allows the skin to move smoothly over the patella. This text is partially adapted from Openstax, Anatomy and Physiology 2e,...
This chapter will review the sonoanatomy, structural pathology and when applicable, injection techniques for the knee joint under ultrasound guidance.doi:10.1007/978-3-030-46839-2_15Jason KajbafG. Chien
Knee Joint Anatomy The knee joint is the largest joint in the body, and one of the most easily injured. It is made up of the lower end of the thighbone (femur), which rotates on the upper end of the shinbone (tibia), and the knee cap (patella), which slides in a groove on the...
The purpose of this chapter is to identify the functional anatomy that impacts the reconstruction of the arthritic knee with a prosthetic implant. This work does not attempt to review all the detailed soft-tissue anatomy of the knee that is covered more expansively both in description and illustr...
