How does arthritis affect the
knee?
• Osteoarthritis
• Causes
• Symptoms
Biblical Application
• Ephesians 3:14 “For this reason I bow my
knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus

deep to the patellar tendon, also known as Hoffa's fat pad.
•
Popliteus - A muscle located in the floor of the popliteal space in close contact with the
posterior capsule of the knee joint.
