The knee is the largest joint in our bodies and the joint most likely to be injured. It’s a complex joint made of four bones: the femur, the tibia, the fibula and the patella, which is the knee cap. This series of bones, and the ligaments and tendons that support them, allow us to bend and straighten the leg with power. The knee joint is also able to rotate slightly. The knee bears our body weight and helps manage impact from things like running, jumping, and going up and down stairs or hills.
