The Knee Joint Complex
Knee Joint Overview
Knee Examination Review
Knee Joint
 3 bones
 Femur, tibia, patella
 3 articulating surfaces
 Medial tibiofemoral, lateral tibiofemoral, patellofemoral all
enclosed in the joint capsule
 Mobility is primarily by the bony structure
 Stability is primarily by the soft tissues
 * the knee complex is responsible for moving and
supporting the body in sitting and squatting activities and
for support for transfers and locomotive activities
Knee Joint
 A double condyloid joint with 2degrees of freedom
 Flexion and extension / Medial and lateral rotation
 0-120-150 degrees for flexion; Hyperextension 15 degrees
Ligamentum
patellae
Continuation of the tendon of the
quadriceps femoris muscle
Attached above to the lower
border of the patella and below to
the tubercle of the tibia
Gives the patella is mechanical
leverage
Lateral Collateral Ligament
 Aka fibular collateral ligament
 Cordlike structure attached to the lateral condyle of the
femur and below to the head of the fibula
 Separated from the lateral semilunar cartilage by the
tendon of popliteus muscle
 Taut during full knee extension & slack during full knee
flexion
 Protects the lateral side from an inside bending force (a
varus force).
Stabilizing role of the
lateral collateral ligament
Primary restraint to
adduction of the knee
Secondary restraint to
anterior and posterior
drawer, when the drawer
displacements are large.
Combined with the other
lateral structures the
lateral collateral ligament
is a significant restraint to
external rotation of the
tibia.
Medial Collateral Ligament
 Flat band that is attached above the medial condyle of the
femur and below to the medial surface of the shaft of the tibia
 Strongly attached to the medial semilunar cartilage
 Taut during full knee extension and slack during full knee
flexion
 Composed of three groups of fibers, one stretching between
the two bones, and two fused with the medial meniscus.
 Partly covered by the pes anserinus and the tendon of the
semimembranosus passes under it
 Protects the medial side of the knee from being bent open by
a stress applied to the lateral side of the knee (a valgus
force).
Medial collateral ligament
functional units
The medial collateral
ligament is the primary
restraint to abduction and
internal tibial rotation.
Secondary role of MCL:
Provides anterior knee
stability, which is enhanced
by external tibial rotation.
With anterior cruciate
disruption the medial
collateral ligament provides
most of the anterior stability
of the knee.
Oblique Popliteal Ligament
 Tendinous expansion of the semimembranosus muscle
 Strengthens the back of the capsule
Anterior Cruciate Ligament
 Attached below to the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia
 Courses superiorly, posteriorly & laterally; attaches to the
lateral femoral condyle
 Prevents anterior dislocation of the tibia on a fixed femur or
prevents posterior dislocation of the femur on a fixed tibia
 Checks lateral rotation of the tibia in flexion and to a lesser
extent, check extension & hyperextension at the knee
 Helps to control the normal rolling and gliding movement of
the knee
 Anteromedial bundle is taut in both flexion & extension, while
the posterolateral bundle is taut on extension only
ACL:
Primary restraint to anterior
translation of the tibia and
contributes the most at 30°
flexion.
-Prevents hyperextension of
the knee
- Secondary restraint to
internal tibial rotation
- Resists adduction and
abduction at full extension
- 'guides' the screw home
rotation of the knee joint as it
approaches terminal
extension
Posterior Cruciate Ligament
 Attached below to the posterior intercondylar area of the
tibia
 Courses superiorly, anteriorly and medially; attaches to
the medial femoral condyle
 Stoutest ligament in the knee
 Prevents posterior dislocation of the tibia on a fixed
femur or prevents anterior dislocation of femur on a fixed
tibia
 Checks extension & hyperextension, and in addition,
helps to maintain rotary stability and functions as the
knee’s central axis of rotation
 Bulk of the fibers are tight at 30 degrees flexion and the
posterolateral fibers are loose in early flexion
PCL:
Primary restraint
posterior translation of
tibia
Secondary restraint
external tibial rotation
at 90° flexion, which
reduces upon knee
extension
Near full knee extension, the
anterior bundle of the PCL
slackens, and the
posterolateral structures
become the primary restraint.
PCL footprint
No fan out like the
ACL
The fibers are almost
parallel to bone
Meniscofemoral Ligaments
 The ligaments of Humphrey and Wrisberg are
meniscofemoral ligaments which run from the
posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the lateral
aspect of the medial femoral condyle
 The anterior meniscofemoral ligament is known as
the ligament of Humphrey
 The posterior meniscofemoral ligament is known as
the ligament of Wrisberg
 In about 70 % of knees, there is either anterior
meniscofemoral ligament of Humphrey or posterior
meniscofemoral ligament of Wrisberg
Humphrey ligament: (anterior meniscofemoral)
 is less than 1/3 the diameter of the PCL
 arises from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus,
runs anterior to the to the PCL and inserts at the distal
edge of the femoral PCL attachment
Wrisberg's ligament: (posterior
meniscofemoral)
 usually larger than ligament of Humphrey (upto 1/2 the
diameter of the PCL diameter)
 extends from the posterior horn of lateral meniscus to
medial femoral condyle
Semilunar Cartilages (Menisci)
 Sheets of fibrocartilage with a thick peripheral
convex border and a thin inner concave border
which is attached to the capsule
 Upper surfaces are in contact with the femoral
condyles and the lower surfaces are in contact with
the tibial condyles
 Increase the congruency of the tibiofemoral
articulations & distribute the pressure
 Lateral meniscus is “O” shaped
 Medial meniscus is “C” shaped and is thicker
posteriorly than anteriorly
MENISCUS:
Lateral meniscus
Medial meniscus
Transverse meniscal ligament
Posterior menisco-meniscal
ligament
Anterior/Posterior horn
-attached to intercondylar tibial
plateau
-vascular like periphery
Meniscal biomechanics and
Functional anatomy
Medial meniscus has a firm bond
to MCL
Lateral meniscus has no
attachment to LCL
Because the popliteus tendon
attaches to the posterolateral
corner of the lateral meniscus,
there is some additional mobility
and decreased vascularity in this
location.
The transverse ligament joins the
anterior horns of the two menisci.
Synovial Membrane
Lines the capsule
Forms a pouch that extends up beneath the
quadriceps femoris to form the suprapatellar
bursa, anteriorly
Extends downward on the tendon of the
popliteus muscle forming the popliteal bursa,
posteriorly
Bursa Related to the Knee Joint
Suprapatellar Bursa
Lies beneath the quadriceps muscle
Largest bursa and always communicates with
the knee joint
Prepatellar Bursa
Lies between the patella and the skin
Infrapatellar Bursa
Superficial infrapatellar bursa: lies between the
ligamentum patellae & the skin
Deep infrapatellar bursa: lies between the
ligamentum patellae and the tibia
Suprapatellar, Prepatellar, Infrapatellar Bursae
Popliteal Bursa
Surround the tendon of the popliteus; always
communicates with the joint cavity
Semimembranosus Bursa
Lies between the tendon of this muscle and the
medial condyle of the tibia
May communicate with the joint cavity
The Screw Home Mechanism
 Refers to the terminal external rotation of the leg at the last 20
degrees of extension due to unequal condylar configuration,
muscle torque action & ligamentous guidance
 During the last 20 degrees of knee extension, the tibia
externally rotates about 20 degrees on the fixed femur
 Also called the terminal rotations of the knee
 In closed kinematic chain motion, terminal rotation is seen as
internal rotation of the femur on the fixed tibia
 In open kinematic chain motion, terminal rotation is seen as
the external rotation of the tibia on a fixed femur
 Rotation between the tibia and femur occurs automatically
between full extension (0˚) and 20˚ of knee flexion. These
figures illustrate the top of the right tibial plateau as we look
down on it during knee motion.
DURING KNEE
EXTENSION, the tibia
glides anteriorly on the
femur.
During the last 20
degrees of knee
extension, anterior
tibial glide persists on
the tibia's medial
condyle because its
articular surface is
longer in that
dimension than the
lateral condyle's.
Prolonged anterior
glide on the medial
side produces external
tibial rotation, the
"screw-home"
mechanism.
The Screw Home Mechanism
Reverses during knee
flexion
When the knee begins
to flex from a position
of full extension,
posterior tibial glide
begins first on the
longer medial condyle.
Between 0 deg.
extension and 20 deg.
of flexion, posterior
glide on the medial
side produces relative
tibial internal rotation,
a reversal of the
screw-home
mechanism.
Closed Kinematic Chain Motion
 Aka proximal-on-distal segment kinematics
 A series of segment link motion with the distal end fixed
on the ground or some immovable point e.g. standing
up, squatting down
Open Kinematic Chain Motion
 Aka distal-on-proximal segment kinematics
 A series of segment link motion with the distal end free in
space e.g. raising lower leg, throwing a ball
Kinematics
 A branch of mechanics that describe the position and
motion of body in space, without regard to the forces or
torques that may produce the motion
Osteokinematics
 Normal ROM: Flexion >130 Rotation: 10
 OPP: 25 flexion
 CPP: Maximal Extension &tibial external rotation
 Normal End feels
 Flexion: Tissue approximation
 Extension: Elastic/Firm
 SLR: Elastic
 *Femoral condyles begin to contact the patella inferior at 20 of
knee; flexion; progresses superior at 90 & medial/lateral at 135
of knee flexion
Arthrokinematics
 Concave Surface: Tibial Plateau
 Convex Surface: Femoral Condyles
 To facilitate extension:
 OKC: tibia rolls and glides anterior on femur
 CKC: femur rolls anterior and glides posterior on the tibia
 To facilitate knee flexion:
 OKC: tibia rolls & glides posterior on the femur
 CKC: femur rolls posterior and glides anterior on the tibia

Vastus Intermedius
Most efficient knee extensor
with least demand of force
Vastus Medialis
Plays an important role in
keeping the patella on track in
gliding on the femoral condyles
(tracking mechanism)
Vastus Medialis Oblique
 The medially directed
forces of the VMO
counteract the laterally
directed forces of the
vastus lateralis, thus
preventing lateral
displacement of the
patella in the trocklear
groove
Biceps Femoris
Externally rotates the tibia with
respect to the femur
Popliteus
Considered as knee flexor
but has a poor leverage for
this motion
Medially rotates the tibia on
the femur to initiate
unlocking of the flexed knee
Quadriceps Muscles
When coming to standing from
sitting position, these act
concentrically to extend the
knee
When coming to sitting from
standing position, these act
eccentrically to control the rate
of knee flexion
Gastrocnemius
Flexes the knee
simultaneous with
plantar flexion of the
ankle
Knee Alignment & Deformities
 Tibio-femoral shaft angle is seen anteriorly on an
extended knee which is about 170 degrees in a
normal adult
 Genu Valgum or Knock Knee: refers to an angle
that is less than 170-165 degrees >195 if ant
 Genu Varum or Bowleg: refers to an angle that
approaches 180 degrees or greater <180 if ant
 Q Angle: an angle formed by the tendons of the
quadriceps femoris and ligamentum patellae; N= 15˚
 Genu Recurvatum: an excessive hyperextension
that develops from weight bearing on an unstable
knee

  • 6. End Feels  Normal:  Flexion & Adduction  Elastic or Tissue Approximation  SLR  Elastic  Extension & Abduction  Elastic/Firm  IR & ER  Elastic/Firm
  • 7. Hip joint  Tonic labyrinthine & optical righting reflexes  Head effectively behaves as if it’s fixed in a vertical position  Maintains head over BOS  When hip flexor ms. Is tight, keep LOG w/in BOS  Open-chain response = displacement of head from vertical (Fig. A)  Closed-chain response = maintain head in upright position (Fig. B)
  • 8. Hip joint  Acetabulum of pelvis + head of femur  Diarthrodial, ball-and-socket jt. w/ 30 freedom:  flex/ext in sagittal plane  abd/add in frontal plane  IR/ER in transverse plane  10 function of hip  To support wt. of head, arms & trunk (HAT)  Also provides pathway for transmission of forces bet. Pelvis & LEs  Hip tends to operate in a closed kinematic chain  Proximal end = head  Distal end = foot
  • 9. Structure Acetabulum  Concave socket  Lateral, inferior, anterior (LIA)  Roundness ↓ w/ age  Inferior = acetabular notch  Central/deepest part = acetabular fossa  Anteversion = anterior orientation of acetabulum  Men = 18.50  Women = 21.5 0  Pathologic ↑ = ↓ jt. stability, risk for anterior dislocation of femoral head
  • 10. Structure  Acetabular labrum  Fibrocartilage rimming entire periphery  Transverse acetabular ligament  Roof of tunnel passage for blood vessels & nerves entering hip  Has Center Edge angle (CE) or angle of Wiberg  Men = 380  Women = 350  Smaller CE angle (more vertical) = ↓ coverage of head of femur, ↑ risk superior dislocation of femoral head  ↑ w/age
  • 11. Pelvis  1/5 pubis  2/5 ischium  2/5 ilium  Pelvis full ossification = 15- 25 y.o.
  • 12. Femur  Circular  Smaller in women  Fovea  Inferior to medial pt. of femoral head  Attachment of ligament of femoral head  Medially, superiorly, anteriorly (SAM)  Neck = 5cm long
  • 13. Femur  Angulation  Angle of inclination (medial)  Frontal plane bet. Femoral neck & shaft  Early infancy = 1500  Adult = 1250  Elderly = 1200  ↓ in women due to width of female pelvis  Pathologic ↑ = coxa valga  Pathologic ↓ = coxa vara
  • 14. Femur  Angle of torsion  Transverse plane bet. Femoral neck & condyles  Anterior torsion =relative lateral rotation  ↓ w/age  Newborn = 400  Adult = 150  Anteversion  Pathologic ↑  Internal femoral torsion  ↓ ER  ↑ IR  Retroversion  Pathologic ↓  External femoral torsion
  • 15. Femur  Frog-leg position  FABER  True physiologic position of hip  A congruent fit under low load would lead to incongruence under high load  Periphery of acetabulum in contact, fossa is non- articular
  • 16. Hip capsule & ligaments  capsule has major contribution to stability  femoral neck = intracapsular  greater & lesser trochanters = extracapsular  thickened anterosuperiorly  thin & loose posteroinferiorly  Iliofemoral ligament  Y ligament of Bigelow  Origin = AIIS  2 arms fan out to insert = intertrochanteric line of femur  Strongest ligament of hip  Taut in hyperextension  Superior fibers taut in adduction  Inferior tense during abduction
  • 17.

Medial Collateral Ligament  Flat band that is attached above the medial condyle of the femur and below to the medial surface of the shaft of the tibia  Strongly attached to the medial semilunar cartilage  Taut during full knee extension and slack during full knee flexion  Composed of three groups of fibers, one stretching between the two bones, and two fused with the medial meniscus.  Partly covered by the pes anserinus and the tendon of the semimembranosus passes under it  Protects the medial side of the knee from being bent open by a stress applied to the lateral side of the knee (a valgus force).
  • 44. Medial collateral ligament functional units The medial collateral ligament is the primary restraint to abduction and internal tibial rotation. Secondary role of MCL: Provides anterior knee stability, which is enhanced by external tibial rotation. With anterior cruciate disruption the medial collateral ligament provides most of the anterior stability of the knee.
  • 45. Oblique Popliteal Ligament  Tendinous expansion of the semimembranosus muscle  Strengthens the back of the capsule
  • 46. Anterior Cruciate Ligament  Attached below to the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia  Courses superiorly, posteriorly & laterally; attaches to the lateral femoral condyle  Prevents anterior dislocation of the tibia on a fixed femur or prevents posterior dislocation of the femur on a fixed tibia  Checks lateral rotation of the tibia in flexion and to a lesser extent, check extension & hyperextension at the knee  Helps to control the normal rolling and gliding movement of the knee  Anteromedial bundle is taut in both flexion & extension, while the posterolateral bundle is taut on extension only
  • 47. ACL: Primary restraint to anterior translation of the tibia and contributes the most at 30° flexion. -Prevents hyperextension of the knee - Secondary restraint to internal tibial rotation - Resists adduction and abduction at full extension - 'guides' the screw home rotation of the knee joint as it approaches terminal extension
  • 48. Posterior Cruciate Ligament  Attached below to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia  Courses superiorly, anteriorly and medially; attaches to the medial femoral condyle  Stoutest ligament in the knee  Prevents posterior dislocation of the tibia on a fixed femur or prevents anterior dislocation of femur on a fixed tibia  Checks extension & hyperextension, and in addition, helps to maintain rotary stability and functions as the knee’s central axis of rotation  Bulk of the fibers are tight at 30 degrees flexion and the posterolateral fibers are loose in early flexion
  • 49. PCL: Primary restraint posterior translation of tibia Secondary restraint external tibial rotation at 90° flexion, which reduces upon knee extension Near full knee extension, the anterior bundle of the PCL slackens, and the posterolateral structures become the primary restraint.

  • 51. Meniscofemoral Ligaments  The ligaments of Humphrey and Wrisberg are meniscofemoral ligaments which run from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle  The anterior meniscofemoral ligament is known as the ligament of Humphrey  The posterior meniscofemoral ligament is known as the ligament of Wrisberg  In about 70 % of knees, there is either anterior meniscofemoral ligament of Humphrey or posterior meniscofemoral ligament of Wrisberg
  • 52. Humphrey ligament: (anterior meniscofemoral)  is less than 1/3 the diameter of the PCL  arises from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, runs anterior to the to the PCL and inserts at the distal edge of the femoral PCL attachment Wrisberg's ligament: (posterior meniscofemoral)  usually larger than ligament of Humphrey (upto 1/2 the diameter of the PCL diameter)  extends from the posterior horn of lateral meniscus to medial femoral condyle
  • 53. Semilunar Cartilages (Menisci)  Sheets of fibrocartilage with a thick peripheral convex border and a thin inner concave border which is attached to the capsule  Upper surfaces are in contact with the femoral condyles and the lower surfaces are in contact with the tibial condyles  Increase the congruency of the tibiofemoral articulations & distribute the pressure  Lateral meniscus is “O” shaped  Medial meniscus is “C” shaped and is thicker posteriorly than anteriorly
  • 54. MENISCUS: Lateral meniscus Medial meniscus Transverse meniscal ligament Posterior menisco-meniscal ligament Anterior/Posterior horn -attached to intercondylar tibial plateau -vascular like periphery
  • 55. Meniscal biomechanics and Functional anatomy Medial meniscus has a firm bond to MCL Lateral meniscus has no attachment to LCL Because the popliteus tendon attaches to the posterolateral corner of the lateral meniscus, there is some additional mobility and decreased vascularity in this location. The transverse ligament joins the anterior horns of the two menisci.

  • 60. The Screw Home Mechanism  Refers to the terminal external rotation of the leg at the last 20 degrees of extension due to unequal condylar configuration, muscle torque action & ligamentous guidance  During the last 20 degrees of knee extension, the tibia externally rotates about 20 degrees on the fixed femur  Also called the terminal rotations of the knee  In closed kinematic chain motion, terminal rotation is seen as internal rotation of the femur on the fixed tibia  In open kinematic chain motion, terminal rotation is seen as the external rotation of the tibia on a fixed femur  Rotation between the tibia and femur occurs automatically between full extension (0˚) and 20˚ of knee flexion. These figures illustrate the top of the right tibial plateau as we look down on it during knee motion.
  • 61. DURING KNEE EXTENSION, the tibia glides anteriorly on the femur.
  • 62. During the last 20 degrees of knee extension, anterior tibial glide persists on the tibia's medial condyle because its articular surface is longer in that dimension than the lateral condyle's.
  • 63. Prolonged anterior glide on the medial side produces external tibial rotation, the "screw-home" mechanism.
  • 64. The Screw Home Mechanism Reverses during knee flexion When the knee begins to flex from a position of full extension, posterior tibial glide begins first on the longer medial condyle.
  • 65. Between 0 deg. extension and 20 deg. of flexion, posterior glide on the medial side produces relative tibial internal rotation, a reversal of the screw-home mechanism.
