📖 1. Knee joint anatomy, stability, and ligamentous structures

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Fémoro-tibial articulation : a hinge joint formed by the femoral condyles and the tibial plateaus, characterized by plane articular surfaces that are non-congruent, meaning they do not fit perfectly together.

  • Fémoro-patellaire articulation : a joint between the femoral trochlea and the posterior surface of the patella, also with plane surfaces that are non-congruent, resulting in a less precise fit.

  • Ligament croisé antérieur : a ligament that provides stability during knee flexion, preventing anterior displacement of the tibia relative to the femur.

  • Ligament croisé postérieur : a ligament that stabilizes the knee by preventing posterior displacement of the tibia, especially in flexion.
