The human knee - one of the most complex joints in the body!

The human knee is a remarkable structure with three main bones—the femur, tibia, and patella—working together through a system of ligaments and tendons.

It’s equipped with two crucial cartilage types: the menisci, which act as shock absorbers, and the articular cartilage, which reduces friction between the bones.

The knee joint is designed to handle a wide range of movements, from bending and straightening to rotational movements, thanks to its intricate design.

Ligaments like the ACL and PCL keep the knee stable and prevent excessive movement, while tendons like the quadriceps and hamstrings provide the power for movement.
