What is Classification of Lower Limb Joints about?
The joints of the lower limbs can be classified by tissue type (fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial) or degree of movement (immovable, slightly movable, freely movable). The major movable joints of the lower limbs are the hip, knee, ankle, and toes. The knee is a modified hinge joint that allows flexion and extension through strong ligaments and menisci within the joint capsule. The ankle is a true hinge joint formed between the tibia, fibula, and talus, permitting plantarflexion and dorsiflexion.
