Tibiofemoral (knee) Joint
• Largest and most complex joint
• Actually 3 joints within a single synovial cavity:
1. Laterally: tibiofemoral joint
2. Medially: tibiofemoral joint
3. Intermediate: patellofemoral joint
Knee joint
• Menisci
Medial meniscus
lateral meniscus
• Ligaments
Cruciate ligaments
Collateral ligaments
Patellar ligament
oblique popliteal ligament
• Joint capsule
Synovial membrane
Fibrous membrane
Minisci : fibrocartilaginous ‘shock absorbers’
semilunar cartilages
Attachments
1. The medial meniscus is more injured than the lateral meniscus, why?
Ligaments
1. anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
2. posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
3. medial collateral ligament (MCL, tibial collateral
ligament)
4. lateral collateral ligament (LCL , fibular collateral
ligament)
5. oblique popliteal ligament
6. ligamentum patellae
Cruciate ligaments
ACL: Anteromedial part of the intercondylar area of tibia to inner aspect of lateral condyle of
femur.
PCL: Posterolateral part of the intercondylar area of the tibia to inner aspect of medial condyle
of femur.
Anterior Cruciate ligament prevents anterior displacement of the tibia
in relation to femur in flexion.
Posterior Cruciate ligament prevents posterior displacement of the tibia
in relation to femur in extension.
How to test ACL and PCL?
Drawer sign test
Anterior Drawer Test for ACL
• Physician Position & Movements
• Patient Position
Note direction of forces

Posterior Drawer Testing- PCL
Note direction of forces

Collateral ligaments
MCL attaches to the medial meniscus
2. The medial meniscus is more injured than the lateral meniscus, why?
Collateral ligaments action
1. Protect the knee joint from bending side to side.
2. Helps the locking mechanism
3. The medial meniscus is more injured than the lateral meniscus, why?
Locking mechanism:
less energy to maintain the standing
position
1. Medial rotation of femur on the tibia
during full extension tighten colateral
ligaments.
Locking mechanism (2)
• Joint surfaces become larger and more stable
in extension.
Locking mechanism (3)
• body's center of gravity is
positioned along a vertical
line that passes anterior to
the knee joint.

Patellar ligament
Strengthening Anterior Aspect of Knee Joint
Patellofemoral stress syndrome
• “Runner’s Knee”
• Patella does not glide
up and down but
rather laterally causing
pain.
oblique popliteal ligament

• (2) tibial (medial)
collateral ligament
• (3) fibular (lateral )
collateral ligament
• (4) medial meniscus

Joint fibrous capsule
Joint synovial membrane
Bursa
• little fluid sacs that helps the muscles and
tendons slide freely:
Prepatellar
Infrapatellar
Suprapatellar
Bursa
Prepatellar Bursitis
