Knee flexion anatomy, artwork C016 / 2881
Knee flexion anatomy. Artwork of a side (lateral) view of the bones and some of the cartilage and ligaments and tendons of a flexed knee joint. The knee joint is where the upper leg bone (femur) articulates with the two lower leg bones, the tibia (right) and fibula (left). The knee-cap (patella) is also seen. The ends of the bones are covered in pads of cartilage (white), including the menisci on the tibia. Attached to the patella are the quadriceps tendon (white, above patella) and the patellar ligament (white, below patella)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of knee flexion, providing a detailed insight into the complex structures that enable this pivotal joint movement. From a lateral perspective, the image reveals the bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons involved in a flexed knee joint. The upper leg bone (femur) elegantly articulates with the two lower leg bones - tibia on the right and fibula on the left. The presence of the knee-cap (patella) is also evident in this artwork. Remarkably, each bone end is cushioned by pads of white cartilage which include hyaline cartilage and menisci located on the tibia. Two significant attachments to note are above and below patella: The quadriceps tendon appears as a white band situated above it while below lies another vital structure known as patellar ligament. Against a serene blue background, this image not only highlights an essential aspect of human biology but also serves as an educational tool for understanding normal knee function. It encapsulates both osteology and arthrology aspects associated with healthy knees. This stunning artwork from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library offers valuable insights into knee flexion anatomy without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company. Its scientific significance makes it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, medical professionals or anyone fascinated by our incredible musculoskeletal system.
