The medial and lateral condyles, located on the femur and the tibia, form the knee joint. The medial condyle, which is closer to the center of the body, is larger.

What are the bones that form your knee joint?

There are two. From the thigh, the distal femur interacts with the proximal tibia to form the bony structures of the knee. The patella is also present, but is not actually part of the knee joint. It acts as a lever to aid the quadriceps extend the knee in a more energy-efficient manner.

Where are Medial and lateral condyles of the femur involved at?

The medial and lateral condyles of the femur are involved in articulating with the tibia to form the knee joint. They help to stabilize the knee joint and assist in weight-bearing and movement of the lower limb.


What job does the tibia do?

it connects with the femur to form a hinge joint, and it allows movement like, running, jumping, and other stuff


What bone is distal to the femur?

Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.


What joint is found in the knee?

The knee actually has two joints. One is called the tibiofemoral joint and is between the thigh bone (femur) and the main shin bone (tibia). The other joint is formed by the thigh bone and the knee cap (patella) and is called the patellofemoral joint. The class of joints that these form are called synovial, or freely moving joints. The specific types are: tibiofemoral joint = hinge joint and the patellofemoral joint = gliding joint.


On what bone would you find the medial malleolus?

The medial malleolus is found on the tibia bone, which is the larger of the two lower leg bones. It is located on the inner side of the ankle and helps form the ankle joint with the talus bone of the foot.


What are the four bones that form the ankle joint?

The four bones that form the ankle joint are the tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg that articulate with the talus, which sits on top of the calcaneus, or heel bone.


What is the function of the femur tibia and fibula?

i think its function is to connect your upper body to your lower body to join the both together The femur has tow functions in the human body. Is the only bone in the thigh and thus it must support all the weight of the body. It also forms an atachment sight for the muscles that act to move the thigh and the knee joint.


What bones connect to the knee?

There is a knee cap, formally known as the patella, which is not a bone, and is not connected to any bones, it just floats over them as a form of protection. There is no knee bone. The knee is a joint, not a bone.
