Building a knee joint involves connecting the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone) using ligaments and cartilage to provide stability and support. The knee joint is a hinge joint, allowing for flexion and extension, while the menisci act as shock absorbers. Proper alignment and biomechanics are essential to ensure smooth movement and prevent injuries. The surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments play crucial roles in maintaining joint function and stability.
