It helps the knee move with low friction and spreads forces during walking, stairs, and sports. In the knee, it lines the femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), and the underside of the patella (kneecap). Clinicians talk about Articular cartilage when evaluating knee pain, swelling, mechanical symptoms, and arthritis."}
