  2. Popliteus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popliteus_muscle

    Popliteus is often referred to as the "Key" to unlocking the knee since it begins knee flexion by laterally rotating the femur on the tibia. [6] Popliteus is also attached to the lateral meniscus in the knee and draws it posteriorly during knee flexion to prevent crushing the meniscus between the tibia and femur as the knee flexes.

  3. Knee examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_examination

    The normal knee flexion is between 130 and 150 degrees. Any pain, abnormal movement, or crepitus of the patella should be noted. If there is pain or crepitus during active extension of the knee, while the patella is being compressed against the patellofemoral groove, patellofemoral pain syndrome or chondromalacia patellae should be suspected ...

  4. Knee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee

    The knee is a modified hinge joint, a type of synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the patellofemoral articulation, consisting of the patella, or "kneecap", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides; and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral articulations linking the femur, or thigh bone, with the tibia, the main bone of the lower ...

  5. Calf raises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calf_raises

    Bridging exercises are done with a flexed knee to lessen the stretch on the hamstring (a knee flexor) and focus the hip extension work on the gluteus maximus. In that same respect, the reduced knee flexion makes plantar flexion work comparable to a seated calf raise, due to the lessened stretch on the gastrocnemius (like the hamstring, also a knee flexor).

  6. Popliteal fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popliteal_fossa

    Like other flexion surfaces of large joints (groin, armpit, cubital fossa and essentially the anterior part of the neck), it is an area where blood vessels and nerves pass relatively superficially, and with an increased number of lymph nodes.

  7. Iliotibial band syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_band_syndrome

    Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is the second most common knee injury, and is caused by inflammation located on the lateral aspect of the knee due to friction between the iliotibial band and the lateral epicondyle of the femur. [2] Pain is felt most commonly on the lateral aspect of the knee and is most intensive at 30 degrees of knee flexion. [2]

    Djokovic, winner of 24 Grand Slams, wore a compression sleeve on his right knee this year after having surgery for a torn meniscus. Tyson's publicist, Joann Mignano, said the boxer "is currently ...

  9. Transverse ligament of knee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_ligament_of_knee

    When the knee is being extended the ligament prevents the anterior horns of the menisci from moving forward, and the condylar surfaces of the femur and tibia from exerting pressure on the menisci. [2] It has a restricting effect on anterior-posterior excursion of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus at lower degrees of knee flexion. [3]
