3D Anatomy of Lower Limb Joints

Articular anatomy of the lower limb involves joints that enable movement and provide stability. The hip joint, a ball-and-socket joint, allows for a wide range of motion. The knee joint, the largest hinge joint in the body, facilitates flexion and extension. The ankle joint, or talocrural joint, enables dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. Additionally, the subtalar and midfoot joints contribute to foot movements. Detailed 3D models highlight the structure, ligaments, and biomechanics of these joints, essential for understanding their roles in movement and stability.
