The Knee Joint The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The fibula

Anatomy of Knee The knee is composed of 4 bones: the femur‚ tibia‚ fibula and patella. Every one of these bones are practical in the knee joint‚ aside from the fibula.

The role of the patella tendon is to transfer the force of the quadriceps muscles‚ much like a rope around a pulley‚ as your knee straightens. (John Miller‚ 2015) Definition
