Knee Joint Anatomy - Lateral View Diagram & Key Structures #3395614 (License: Personal Use)

The image presents a high-resolution lateral perspective of the knee joint, clearly identifying the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and fibula, along with the patella (kneecap) embedded in the quadriceps tendon. Key soft tissues-including the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial and lateral menisci, articular cartilage, hamstrings, popliteus tendon, and collateral ligaments-are precisely labeled to support clinical or educational understanding. The color-coded layers emphasize muscle origins/insertions and joint stability mechanisms.

Used in orthopedic education, physical therapy resources, anatomy textbooks, and patient-facing health websites to explain knee mechanics, injury sites (e.g., ACL tears, meniscal damage), and surgical planning; matches user intent for learning or diagnosing knee-related conditions.
