tibiofemoralleddet
The tibiofemoralleddet, commonly called the tibiofemoral joint or simply the knee joint, is the primary articulation between the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. It is a large, weight-bearing synovial hinge joint capable of flexion and extension, with a limited amount of rotation when the knee is flexed. The joint is complemented by the patellofemoral articulation, which involves the patella sliding over the femur during movement.
The articular surfaces include the femoral condyles and the tibial plateau, which are cushioned and deepened
Vascular supply is mainly from the genicular arteries, and sensory innervation arises from articular branches of
