Knee bones and ligaments

Knees! We're just going to look at the boney bits and ligaments of the knee joint. And menisci. And mention articular cartilage. And movements. And injuries. But that's probably it.

As a med student, you're an absolute lifesaver. Better than 90% of the teachers we have.

Somehow you don’t sounds boring at all talking anatomy, that’s why i am here. Please keep going! Thanks for sharing your teaching on YouTube.

[geminibykda]

I'd get admitted to a university you teach in and do a degree just so I can experience learning from you in person. You're so brilliant, thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us. You've no idea the kind of exceptional work you're doing and its impact 💙

They are lucky to have you Sam, you are very passionate about your work. The reason we, your viewers enjoy your videos so much is because you focus on one area of the body and explain its function in great detail, slowly in great dept. I am a massage therapist here in the states and my clients are mostly PCT hikers (the trail that runs from Mexico to Canada) and runners. I am very glad I discovered your videos, I am watching them daily, Thank you! Also YouTube recommended your channel to me, probably because of my watching history, anatomy videos and such again thanks you are worth your weight in gold!

[sevilocks]

You are doing wonders!! I literally passed my upper limb test, although I went late to medical school, just because of you and I just can't thank you enough for all of your spectacular videos 😊❤️

[eparveots]

I love how easy to understand your videos are, even to someone who knows next to nothing about anatomy. I had quite a serious injury and your videos have been great source for understanding the bits and pieces involved. Thank you!

I really want to thank you, sir, I'm speaking for myself when I say you brought change into my life. I'm a young architect in a country that speaks another language. Interested in health and exercise. It has been so tough to understand all of this for real but it all has come to a beautiful understanding of the human as a body. All thanks to you. Really thankful for your work sir. I send all the love and all the peace to you.

Extremely helpful as a student; please continue these wonderful videos! You definitely have a knack for explaining anatomy & physiology. Thank you!

Hi Sam, fantastic lessons. I'm currently laid up with a complete pateller tendon tear from falling down stairs. I had my operation and am now in a leg brace, unable to do much. It took just two seconds of freefalling over four curved stairs to pull my patella out and now I'm trying to reassure myself that I'll recover back to some level of mobility but it's a long haul. My pateller tendon tore just below the pateller bone and the subsequent pull from the quadriceps pulled my kneecap up at an odd angle. I was actually able to walk but couldn't put more than 20 degrees of flexion without it buckling. I was walking with crutches for two weeks before I had my operation and had surprisingly little pain. Until after my op. Now it's bad!!! So it's nice to sit and learn about this complicated joint and get an idea of how this repair should heal. Keep up the good work.

Sam is the cutest! Makes me laugh and smile while learning lots. Thank you! Who needs better reasons to have millions of views than that!

[jazzfreak]

I think you cannot even imagine how much you help people like myself who are studying anatomy. I am so thankful for you!!!!

[placidobarbara]

well, one has to be immensely grateful that for whatever reason, u decided to do these videos...and rather than calling it your career on youtube i'd much rather call it your legacy !!

[mae_it_be]

This guy is so brilliant and charismatic. I never expected to enjoy this video as thoroughly as I did. Thank you for posting!!!

[alexisayenko]

Thank you for your picturesque explanation. Enjoy it a lot. Just got a meniscus arthroscopy recently.... recovering...

[hannahgracey]

here as a physio year 1 student your videos are so helpful

[cindimcintosh]

I shattered my right patella 4 weeks ago. Struggling to understand my injury. Thank you for all the wonderful information.

[SunAndMirror]

I cycle a lot! 25 miles a day to work. I thought my knee pain was tendon or cartilage damage, or misaligned traction of patella. 21:00 absolutely invaluable, thank you Sam, I watch so much videos and it helps my entire life more than you know!!!

[stefgill]

GREAT JOB ! such a pleasure to get some knolwledge from an orator like you, fun and rich, i guess schools miss peoples like you, thanks a lot for that !

[schrubber]

Came here because of an anatomy exam, left with new hope for my early stage degenerating knees and even more motivation to work on my genu valgum ☺️ Hope maybe my cartrilege will be happy with me someday afterall

[saumyalandge]

What an incredible explanation about the cruciate ligaments!
Thank you so much
