The
knee joint (tibiofemoral joint) is the most complex in the human body. It is
comprised of three different joints: the medial femoral and medial tibial
condyles, the lateral femoral and tibial condyles, and the articulation between
the patella and the femur. The knee joint is capable of flexion, extension, and
medial and lateral rotation to a certain degree. It is also the joint most
vulnerable and susceptible to injury. Common knee injuries are tears to the
anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) and tears to the meniscus or cartilage.
