Anatomy Of Knee Joint
Outline
 Introduction
 Stability of knee joint
 Stabilizing muscle
 capsule of knee joint
 ligament of knee joint
 Bursae around knee joint
Introduction
 Type of joint
1. Fibrous or immobile joint
2. Cartilaginous Or slightly moveable joint
3. Synovial Joint
Type of synovial joint
1. ball and socket joint
2. Hing Joint
3. Pivot joint
4. Gliding joint
5. Saddle joint
6. Condyloid Joint
Knee joint
 The knee joint is the largest and most
superficial joint
 It is hinge type of synovial joint
Consists of 3 articulation
1. Medial femorotibial articulation
2. Lateral femorotibial articulation
3. Femoropatellar articulation
Knee joint
Knee joint
Femur
Tibia
Tibia
Patella
 Is sesamoid bone
 Several ossifi cation centres appear at 3 years
and fuse at puberty .
 A bipartite (or multipartite) patella is a
common variant when the superolateral
corner fails to fuse.
Patella
Stability Of knee joint
The stability of knee joint depends on
1. the strength and action of the surrounding
muscle and their tendon
2. The ligament that connect the femur and
tibia
 the erect, extended position is the most
stable position of the knee joint
Muscle For Stabilizing Knee Joint
Quadriceps Femoris
Anatomy Of Knee Joint.pptx
Pes Anserinus Muscle
Ilio- tibial Tract
Capsule Of Knee Joint
 It is consisting of fibrous capsule and synovial
membrane
Fibrous capsule
Superiorly , fibrous layer attaches to the femur,
just proximal to the articular margin of the
condyles
Inferiorly ,margin of the superior articular surface
of tibia except where the tendon of popliteus
crosses the bone
Posteriorly, encloses the condyles and the
intercondylar fossa. It has an opening to allow the
tendon of popliteus to pass
Anteriorly, the quadriceps tendon and patellar
ligament replace the fibrous layer
Anatomy Of Knee Joint.pptx
Synovial membrane
 Superiorly, it continuous with synovial lining of
suprapatelar bursa
 Posteriorly, an anterior synovium reflection
from the capsule covers the front and sides of
the cruciate ligament , rendering them
intracapsular but extrasynovial
Extracapsular Ligament Of Knee Joint
1 patellar ligament
Receives the medial and lateral patelar
retinacula play important role in maintaining
alignment of patella
Anatomy Of Knee Joint.pptx
2 lateral collateral ligament(FCL
 Tendon of popliteus separating FCL from the
lateral meniscus
 Tendon of biceps femoris is split into two part
by the FCL
FCL
3 medial collateral ligament (TCL
 TLC are firmly attached to the medial
meniscus
 The TCL , weaker than the FCL ,is more often
damaged
TCL
4 oblique popliteal ligament
 Is atendinous expansion derived from the
semimembranosus muscle
 It strengthens the posterior aspect of the
capsule
Anatomy Of Knee Joint.pptx
Arcuate Popliteal Ligament
It arises from the posterior aspect of the fibula
head ,passes superomedially over the tendon of
the popliteus surface of the knee joint
Intra articular ligament
1 anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)
 Arise from the anterior
intercondylar area of tibia
to attach to the posterior
part of the medial side of
lateral condyle of femur
 Weaker than PCL
 Has relatively poor blood
supply
2 posterior cruciate ligament
 Arise from posterior
intercondylar area of
the tibia to attached to
anterior part of the
lateral surface of the
medial femoral condyle
Menisci of the knee joint
 Are crescentric plates of fibrocartilage on the
articular surface of the tibia that deepen the
surface and play a role in shock absorption
 The coronary ligaments are portion of the
joint capsule extending between the margins
of the menisci and most of the periphery of
the tibial condyle
 Transverse ligament of knee joins the anterior
edge of menisci
Anatomy Of Knee Joint.pptx
Medial meniscus
 Mesial meniscus firmly adheres to the deep
surface of TCL
 Is less mobile on the tibial plateau than is the
lateral meniscus
Lateral meniscus
 Is smaller and
more freely
movable than the
median meniscus
 Posterior
meniscofemoral
ligament joins
the lateral
meniscus to PCL
and the medial
femoral condyle
Bursae around knee joint
 They are found wherever skin ,muscle ,or
tendon rubs against bone
 Four bursae communicate with the synovial
cavity of knee joint
1. Suprapatellar bursa
2. Popliteus bursa
3. Anserine bursa
4. Gastrocnemius bursa

Its development appears to be inversely related to the presence and size of a fabella in the proximal attachment of the lateral head of gastrocnemius (see blue box Fabella in Gastrocnemius; Fig. B5.21 on p. 606). Both structures are thought to contribute to posterolateral stabilityaspect of the fi bular head, passes superomedially over the tendon of the popliteus, and spreads over the posterior surface of the knee joint.
