A joint is particularly defined as a connection or link between two bones in the skeletal system of our body. It can be classified based on the type of the tissue present that is fibrous, cartilaginous or synovial, or by the degree of movement permitted that is synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis or diarthrosis. Hinge joints such as the elbow and the knee, are complex structures made up of bone, muscles, synovium, cartilage, and ligaments that are meant to bear weight and move the body through space. The knee contains femur above, and the tibia and fibula below. Ligaments and tendons connect the three bones of the knee, which are contained in the joint capsule and are cushioned by cartilage.
