A Look at Basic Knee Anatomy

Last updated 10 months ago

The human knee is a joint where four bones meet and are connected by four ligaments that act like thick rubber bands to keep the knee stable. You can see these ligaments in their proper position in this video, along with the major muscle and cartilage structures that allow the joint to move smoothly. When any of these structures are damaged, the knee will not be able to move comfortably.

If you are experiencing pain or immobility in the knees, Knee Centers can offer comprehensive pain management care that is designed to meet your specific health needs. Learn about our non-surgical knee repair procedures by visiting our website or calling (949) 391-4315.
