An Overview of the Knee

In this informative article, we provide a detailed overview of the knee joint. You’ll gain insights into its structure and fundamental functions. Understanding the basics of your knee joint serves as the foundation for making informed decisions regarding knee health and potential treatments.

The knee is a hinge joint responsible for movement, stability, absorbing shock and weight bearing. Knee injuries are common and can be from muscle imbalance, sports injuries, or degenerative disease.

Anatomy of the knee 

The knee consists of bones, meniscus, ligaments, cartilage and tendons. The hinge joint allows the leg to extend and bend with limited motion in other planes. 

Within the main part of the knee joint, you’ll find the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). Between these bones is the meniscus, which acts as a shock absorber. At the front of the knee lies the patella (kneecap).
