The Knee Joint, which appears like a simple hinge-joint, is one of the most complex joint. It consists of the femur (thighbone), tibia (Shinbone) and Patella (Kneecap).

The knee is a synovial joint, which means, it is lined by synovium. The synovium procdures fluid lubricating and nourishing the inside of the joint.
