Normal anatomy and biomechanics of the knee.

چکیده
Functionally, the knee comprises 2 articulations-the patellofemoral and tibiofemoral. Stability of the joint is governed by a combination of static ligaments, dynamic muscular forces, meniscocapsular aponeurosis, bony topography, and joint load. The surgeon is ill equipped to undertake surgical treatment of a dislocated knee without a sound footing in the anatomic complexities of this joint. We review the normal anatomy of the knee, emphasizing connective tissue structures and common injury patterns.

متن کاملAnatomy and Biomechanics of the Cruciate Ligaments and Their Surgical Implications
Multiple ligament knee injuries, although rare, are severe injuries that often result in the loss of the passive and active knee stabilizers as well as often being associated with the compromise of neurovascular structures. Treatment of these injuries is controversial, and results after surgery are often poor. After sustaining injuries to multiple ligaments, the knee is at a biomechanical disad...
