Knee Care

The knee joints the femur and tibia bones of human body. It is very important joint as it supports the entire weight of the body as well as accepts and transfers the biomechanical load between the femur, tibia, patella and fibula bones.

The knee joint is one of the complex joints of the human body. There are a lot of chances of getting it injured.

The structure of the knee joint:

There is a slight rotational part, which is responsible for this movement; it is recognized within last 50 years. This component is responsible for a lot of injuries.

There are two types of knee muscles go across the knee: quadriceps and hamstrings. The front muscles are called quadriceps and back muscles are called hamstrings. The ligament holds the bones in the knee joint together that is the reason it is so important part of the knee joint.

The structure made with meniscus or meniscal cartilage is also associated with the knee joints. The C-shaped tissue, which fits between the femur and tibia, is called meniscus that protects the joint and allows the free movement of bones. There is a little fluid sac that is called bursa; it helps the muscles and tendons to move freely with the movement of the knee.
