2023年1月2日 · Muscles propel the knee joint back and forth. A tendon connects the muscle to the bone. When the muscle contracts, the tendons are pulled, and the bone is moved. The knee joint is most significantly affected by two major muscle groups: The quadriceps muscles provide strength and power with knee extension (straightening).

2022年2月22日 · Patellar tendinitis is an injury to the tendon connecting your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. The patellar tendon works with the muscles at the front of your thigh to extend your knee so that you can kick, run and jump.

2024年4月22日 · Tendons are often overlooked as part of knee joint anatomy. They are they soft tissues found at the end of muscles which link the muscle to bone. The main tendon found at the knee is the patellar tendon which links the quads muscles to the shin bone.

2025年1月22日 · The human knee represents one of the most complex joint systems in the body, featuring an intricate network of ligaments and tendons that provide both stability and mobility. This detailed examination focuses on the crucial soft tissue structures that maintain knee integrity while enabling fluid movement essential for daily activities.

2024年11月18日 · Patellar tendon tears involve the partial or complete rupture of the band of connective tissue that attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). A tendon is a cord of fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones.

One common way of injuring knee muscles and tendons is through overstretching, where the fibres become strained or torn. Another common cause is a powerful impact – such as a blow to the front of the knee, a heavy fall, or even a deep cut during an accident.

There are four ligaments in the knee joint that connect the femur and tibia; the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). The ACL is in the center of the knee, it limits rotation and forward leg movements.

Tendons are similar to ligaments, except that tendons attach muscles to bones. The largest tendon around the knee is the patellar tendon. This tendon connects the patella (kneecap) to the tibia. This tendon covers the patella and continues up the thigh.

2023年8月10日 · Knee Tendons In A Nutshell. The human knee is an intricate system of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that work together to provide stability and mobility to the body. The knee has several key tendons: Quadriceps Tendon: This is a large, strong tendon at the front of the knee. It originates from the four muscles of the quadriceps femoris ...

2021年6月29日 · Tendons in the Knee. Tendons are elastic tissues made up of collagen. They are the continuations of muscles and allow them to connect to bones. There are numerous tendons around the knee that also help to stabilize the knee. They are associated with muscles discussed in the section above (see above). One of the most important tendons is the ...
