Abstract

The Knee joint is constructed by connecting the femur bone with the tibia and patella and covered by synovial membrane. It has the synovial fluids which lubricates the joint for articulation and allows weight bearing. The knee joint can be affected by degenerative changes which causes pain, swelling and restricted movements.

Keywords: Knee; Joints; Synovial Fluid; Articulation.
