The femoral condyles, lateral and medial, form the rounded end of the femur. The tibial plateau, which articulates with the femoral condyles, is the upper side of the tibia. The articular bones are covered by white, shiny and elastic cartilage. The smooth articular surface of the femur roll and slide on the tibia plateau. Synovial fluid nourishes and lubricates the cartilage [1].[edit | edit source]
