The knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur and tibia tibiofemoral joint, and one between the femur and patella patellofemoral joint.[1] It is the largest joint in the human body.[2] The knee is a modified hinge joint, which permits flexion and extension as well as slight internal and external rotation. The knee is vulnerable to injury and to the development of osteoarthritis. |
