Understanding Your Knee
At Advanced Orthopaedics, we provide comprehensive information about the anatomy and
function of your knee. Understanding these aspects is essential for maintaining knee
health and preventing injuries.
Anatomy of the Knee
Your knee is a hinge joint that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia)
and the smaller bone next to the tibia (fibula). The knee joint also includes the kneecap
(patella), which rests over the front of the knee joint.
Common Knee Problems
Despite its resilience, the knee is susceptible to various injuries and conditions.
Common knee problems include ligament tears (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL), meniscus tears,
cartilage damage, patellar dislocation, and osteoarthritis.
Functionality of the Knee
Your knee joint allows for essential movements such as bending (flexion) and straightening
(extension) of the leg, as well as limited rotation. It also plays a vital role in
weight-bearing activities like walking, running, jumping, and climbing stairs.
Tendons and Ligaments
The knee relies on a network of tendons and ligaments to provide stability and support.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral
ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are crucial for knee stability.
Importance of Knee Health
Maintaining the health and function of your knees is crucial for your overall mobility and
quality of life. Whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or someone who enjoys an
active lifestyle, understanding your knee joint can help you prevent injuries and optimize
your physical performance.
At Advanced Orthopaedics, accurate diagnosis is paramount for effective treatment. Our orthopedic specialists utilize advanced diagnostic techniques and expertise to comprehensively assess and diagnose knee conditions.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
Begin with a thorough evaluation of your knee health. Experienced orthopedic surgeons
conduct physical exams and review medical history to understand symptoms and underlying
issues.
Advanced Imaging:
Utilize X-rays, MRI scans, and CT scans for detailed views of the knee joint,
identifying abnormalities, injuries, or degenerative changes.
Diagnostic Arthroscopy:
In some cases, recommend minimally invasive diagnostic arthroscopy to visualize knee
joint interiors, assessing damage and guiding treatment decisions.
Specialized Tests:
Conduct ligament stability tests, meniscal tests, or range of motion assessments to further
evaluate knee function and identify specific issues.
