In humans and other primates, the knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur and tibia (tibiofemoral joint), and one between the femur and patella (patellofemoral joint). It is the largest joint in the human body. The knee is a modified hinge joint, which permits flexion and extension as well as slight internal and external rotation. The knee is vulnerable to injury and to the development of osteoarthritis.
Your knee is the large joint that connects your thigh to your lower leg, made up of connections between three bones that allow you to bend, straighten, and slightly rotate your leg. It's important because it's essential for movement and bearing your body weight, but it's also prone to injury and wear-related problems like osteoarthritis.

It is often termed a compound joint having tibiofemoral and patellofemoral components. (The fibular collateral ligament is often considered with tibiofemoral components.)
