Abstract
The knee is a trochoginglymoid joint that derives its physiologic joint play and its typical rolling-gliding mechanism of flexion and extension from its six degrees of freedom - three in translation and three in rotation. The translations of the knee take place on the anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and proximal-distal (compression-distraction) axes. The rotational motions consist of flexion-extension, internal-external rotation, and abduction-adduction.
