Study Notes
Functions of the Knee Joint
- Acts as a weight-bearing joint, crucial for support while standing.
- Essential for daily activities such as walking, standing, and climbing stairs.
- Key joint in sports activities like running, jumping, and kicking.
Anatomy of the Knee Joint
- Known as the tibiofemoral joint, involving three main bones: femur, tibia, and patella.
- Femur has two rounded, convex parts called condyles that articulate with the tibia's concave condyles.
- Classified as a modified hinge joint, offering 2 degrees of freedom.
Components of the Knee Joint
- Medial meniscus: C-shaped cartilage providing stability and cushioning.
- Lateral meniscus: O-shaped cartilage aiding in shock absorption and joint stability.
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) maintain joint integrity.
- Lateral and medial collateral ligaments support the knee's side stability.
Patellofemoral Joint
- Formed between the back of the patella (kneecap) and the femur, located at the front of the knee.
- Plays a significant role in knee movements, particularly during climbing and walking on inclines.
- Commonly affected by "runner's knee," a prevalent injury among athletes.
Tibiofibular Joint
- An important joint connecting the tibia and fibula, though not detailed in function, contributes to overall knee stability and function.
