WHAT DOES KNEE JOINT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

knee joint

Knee

The knee joint joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two articulations: one between the femur and tibia, and one between the femur and patella. It is the largest joint in the human body. The knee is a mobile trocho-ginglymus, which permits flexion and extension as well as a slight internal and external rotation. Although the design of knee joint has not changed fundamentally over millennia, it is vulnerable to both acute injury and the development of osteoarthritis. It is often grouped into tibiofemoral and patellofemoral components.

Definition of knee joint in the English dictionary

The definition of knee joint in the dictionary is the joint of the human leg connecting the tibia and fibula with the femur and protected in front by the patella.
