text: The knee is called a condylar joint because of the articulation between the femur and the tibia, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.10 The femur has two protrusions called condyles.
text: It must be regarded as consisting of three articulations in one: two condyloid joints, one between each condyle of the femur and the corresponding meniscus and condyle of the tibia; and a third between the patella and the femur, partly arthrodial, but not completely so, since the articular surfaces are not mutually adapted to each other, so that the movement is not a simple gliding one.
