This article was written after dissecting more than 50 knees at the University of Connecticut and Yale University medical schools during summer break in 1986. It was found that the way the muscles insert into and around the patella (kneecap) are different in females than males and this may contribute to the incidence of higher kneecap pain in females than in males. - Knee-Total Knee Implants

This is a drawing depicting the ligaments that can be injured in the knee to include the Anterior Cruciate ligament(ACL) and medial and lateral collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL , respectively). It also illustrates that their are two meniscus in the knee, the medial and lateral menisci. On the end of the femur and the tibia is articular cartilage which also can be injured. Not depicted is the capsule of the knee which is a "sac" around the joint. On the inner surface of the capsule are synovial cells which produce synovial fluid and when inflammed can produce too much fluid creating an effussion. - Shoulder- Subscapularis Repair
