AB The  knee  joint  complex  includes  three  articulating  surfaces,  which  form  two  distinct  joints  contained  within  a  single  joint  capsule:  the  patellofemoral  and  tibiofemoral  joint.1,2  One  of  the  problems  facing  the  knee  joint  complex  is  the  fact  that  it  was  not  originally  designed  for  bipedal  motion.3  Evolutionary  modifications  have  allowed  the  knee  to  adapt  to  the  major  changes  placed  on  it  during  functional  demands.2  Despite  these  adaptations,  however,  the  knee  is  one  of  the  most  commonly  injured  joints  in  the  body.
