The knee is a key component of your body’s movement system — acting as a powerful hinge between the thigh and lower leg. It functions much like a cable-and-pulley mechanism, where balance and coordination are essential. However, poor biomechanics, overuse, injury, or the natural aging process can disrupt this system, leaving the knee vulnerable to a range of conditions.
Anatomically, the knee includes two primary joints formed between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone), with the patella (kneecap) sitting in front to assist quadriceps function. A network of ligaments, tendons, and cartilage provides the necessary support, mobility, and shock absorption for this complex joint.
At Kerlan Jobe, our fellowship-trained orthopedic and sports medicine specialists offer advanced diagnostic and surgical solutions for knee injuries. From cartilage preservation to ligament reconstruction and full joint replacement, our team treats a wide spectrum of knee conditions with precision and compassion.
