10 years old now (2022) and still an amazingly helpful and thorough explanation. How many times can I hit the Like button?

This was by far the best knee-anatomylesson I've ever seen. Thank you!

THIS is how I learn most about any difficult science, Dr. Randale Sechrest. Straightforward, lecture-tone, layer by layer visuals. I hope you still have the time and inspiration to make more. You are helping many of us so much, especially the injured, , thank you, stay safe. 👏

Please keep this going. No exaggeration, but this is the best video I've ever seen on the internet. My top 3! Love how you explained a bit of terminology and the pace, animation, etc was spot on. I am now spending my Sunday looking for more of your videos. I'm a runner and run coach and this will help me explain more clearly what happens during a run gait. Keep it going!!!

I'm currently troubleshooting my knee injury and this video was extremely helpful in helping me understand my anatomy better. You explained it very simply and clearly and the visualisations helped a ton as well. Thank you very much, Sir!

This is a perfect refresher for certification exams, and great for providing visual aides in any anatomy learner. I LOVE that it is detailed enough to allow me to communicate with Ortho professionals when consulting, yet it is concise and brief enough to keep my studying efficient -- plus it doesn't bore me to tears. I am sharing on my social media site for EMS and ER providers...

I'm a ski patroller and often encounter acute knee problems. I really appreciate the work you put into this video. It is clear, concise and complete and helps me better understand the steps I take in knee exams.

This was the best knee anatomy (lesson) I have come across.

[vickihill]

This is a fantastic tutorial...very clear even to a non-medical person.

[boblee]

I can't describe how it helps my understanding... The great visual material with explanation boosts my understand. Really appreciate it!

I found this tutorial very helpful.  As a visual learner, I appreciate the graphics and the simple way in which you explain MS anatomy.  I am a nurse practitioner student in Spokane and your tutorials are of the best that I have been able to find.  Thank you very much.  Look forward to others.

I was watching a video provided by Kaiser to understand Knee Anatomy and found it is hard to follow. I searched Youtube of course for better ones. This video clarifies many questions I have. Thank you!

Hey I just wanted to say that all these anatomy videos are fantastic and extremely useful. I am a student at UC Berkeley and I've been using these videos as a supplement, even though at times they feel like a main lesson compared to the lectures here! Thank you so much for creating these.

[nooralhoda]

can't beleive that a video with such quality and perfect animation is 12 years old at the time i was a child!, i really appreciate this work, thank you for this good explanation

[martinlauzon]

This series of video is some of the best on youtube. Thank you vey much and congrats!!

I'm an artist, and this is invaluable to understand for drawing.

[movazi]

If everything in our body was explained in such efficient and clear way we would all be doctors.

[politanene]

2024 and this video is still the most helpful and easy to follow than I've ever seen. Excellent job!

This video is amazing.  I am 46 years old and an avid basketball player along with other sports.  I have never had any knee issues and I have only heard of others with knee problems and I have heard all of the terms that you used in the video.  I have watched it 3 or 4 times and it is an amazing video that really helps me understand the operation of a knee.  Thanks!!!
