The knee joint joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two articulations: one between the femur and tibia , and one between the femur and patella . 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 joint is vulnerable to injury and to the development of osteoarthritis.
