Stifle Joint

The stifle joint is a complex joint in the hind limbs of four legged animals. It is the equivalent joint to the human knee. The stifle joint consists of the femorotibial articulation (femoral and tibial condyles), femoropatellar articulation (femoral trochlea and the patella), and the proximal tibiofibular articulation.
