Abstract

Figures 8.1 and 8.2 illustrates the surface anatomy of the knee joint. The knee is essentially a hinge joint between the femur and the tibia, with the patella riding anterior to and slightly superior to the joint. The knee joint (and therefore knee pathology) can be thought of in terms of three anatomic compartments, the medial, lateral, and patellofemoral (anterior) compartments.
