Joints of the Lower Limb

Overview

The joints of the lower limb support stability and mobility during standing and locomotion. This section introduces the major articulations from hip to toes.

Key Structures

Articles describe the hip, knee, proximal and distal tibiofibular joints, ankle and joints of the foot. Ligaments, movements and stabilising structures are outlined clearly.

Clinical Relevance and Learning Focus

Joint anatomy is essential for assessing instability, degenerative change and acute injury. The topics support interpretation of examination findings and orthopaedic decision-making.
