Knee joint. Computer artwork of a healthy human knee joint,seen from the front. Bones are orange. The femur (thigh-bone,at top) forms a hinge-joint with the tibia (shin-bone,at bottom),at the knee. The patella or kneecap (oval,at upper centre) is a protective bone at the front of the knee held in position by muscles and tendons. Two discs of cartilage cover the surfaces of the femur and tibia,reducing friction between them | |
