Description: |
|
The knee is a very large joint that carries an important role in weight bearing and proper movement mechanics. The main component of the knee involves the articulation between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). In between these two bones you have a medial and lateral meniscus – a big piece of fibrocartilage that acts as a cushion in the joint. In addition to that you have 4 major ligaments that provide stability; the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL). In the front of the knee sits your patella or knee cap. This bone “floats” as it is embedded in the quadriceps tendon and sits on top of a groove in the femur. The articulation between the patella and femur is called the patellofemoral joint. On the outside of the knee, there is an articulation between the fibula and the tibia which is called the proximal tibiofibular joint. This joint is not a common source of pain or movement dysfunction but it does happen on occasion.
