Biomechanics of knee joint
Notes de l'éditeur
- Femur : the medial condyle is larger and it projects further than does the lat condyle.
- The relative tibiofemoral incongruence is improved by the addition of medial and lateral menisci, which act to convert the convex tibial plateau into concavities for the femoral condyles.
- If the femoral condyles sat directly on the relatively flat tibial plateau, there would be a small contact area between the bony surfaces.
- The anterior cruciate ligament may also be considered to consist of two separate bundles that wrap around each other as the knee flexes.
