Suprapatellar joint effusion is the accumulation of excess fluid in the space above the patella (kneecap) within the knee joint. This can be a sign of inflammation, injury, or underlying medical conditions affecting the knee joint. Symptoms may include swelling, pain, and limited range of motion in the knee.
The two joints that the sartorius muscle crosses are the hip joint and the knee joint. The muscle originates at the anterior superior iliac spine of the hip bone and inserts at the upper medial surface of the tibia below the knee joint.
The knee joint is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension of the leg. It is formed by the articulation between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone), as well as the patella (kneecap).
The gastrocnemius muscle does not directly cross any joints. It originates above the knee joint and inserts into the heel (via the Achilles tendon), working primarily to flex the ankle joint.
The two joints that make up the knee joint are the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral joint.
In anatomy "superior" means above, as in if someone is standing up the hip is above the knee. The hip joint is the first joint higher than the knee, so it is the first joint "superior" to the knee.
The knee joint (tibiofemoral joint) is inferior to anything that is superior to it, and that would be the whole body above the knees.
