The joint can be flexed be-yond a right angle (see Fig. 137) and can be extended so that the thighand leg are in the same plane. There is also a slight amount of inwardand outward rotation possible. In walking the femur rotates upon thetibia in passing from extension to flexion, and vice versa, each condylegliding or rolling in a cup formed by the semilunar cartilages, upon thetibia. The crucial ligaments prevent any antero-posterior motion. Undernormal conditions there is scarcely any lateral movement possible. Ininjuries to the knee involving the crucial ligaments abnormal
