The knee is part of a chain that includes the pelvis, hip, and upper leg above, and the lower leg, ankle and foot below. All of these work together and depend on each other for function and movement. The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body. It joins the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). The smaller bone that runs alongside the tibia (fibula) and the kneecap (patella) are the other bones that make the knee joint. Tendons connect the knee bones to the leg muscles that move the knee joint. You’ll know more about the details by studying it from these knee diagrams.

As an additional information, the knee is a complex pivotal hinge joint that connects the bones in the upper and lower leg, comprised of muscle, ligaments, tendons, and the meeting of four bones: the femur, tibia, fibula, and patella. It is the largest joint in the body. Two concave pads of cartilage (strong, flexible tissue) called menisci minimize the friction created at the meeting of the ends of the tibia and femur.
