Abstract

The knee joint is the largest joint of the body. It includes many important structures, specific to the knee such as the menisci and cruciate ligaments. Another important feature is the joint surfaces that are not highly compatible to bring together bones. To increase compatibility and provide stability, there are several certain structures in the joint.
