The knee joint is a crucial part of the human body that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). It allows for movement, enabling us to walk, run, and jump. The knee is made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, all working together to provide stability and flexibility.
In addition to its role in movement, the knee joint also absorbs shock and helps support our body weight. Common injuries, such as ACL tears or meniscus tears, can occur during sports or physical activities, highlighting the importance of keeping this joint healthy and strong.
